Wake up Mainers! Janet Mills has only ever wanted to transition Portland into the San Francisco snake pit created by her idol, Gavin Newsom of California. She is neglecting Maine citizens to push the liberal left’s destructive agenda. I for one no longer frequent Portland businesses because there is no sense of decorum or safety for family friendly activities. Mills has done nothing but lie to the people of Maine as she continues her efforts to destroy our flagship city and the fabric of our beloved state.

They came here on their own illegally. There’s nothing we owe them except deportation.

It isn’t just Portland which faces an influx of undocumented immigrants. Last week, residents of the Ellsworth
area noticed a large contingent of African immigrants at the city’s Walmart store. They were rude to other shoppers, blocked aisles, bumped into other people, would not make eye contact, and moved through the store in groups.
Where are they staying? How did they get to Hancock county? What is their legal status? Nobody seems to know. Ellsworth officials are mum.

Get Catholic Charities to cough up the money. They’re the group bringing them here.
