They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
Their loathing for Mainers seems to be inexhaustible.
I am referring to the open-borders fanatics who dominate state government, from the beast in the Blaine House to the deranged Democrat diversity fascists in legislative leadership. Their contempt for Maine’s people, culture, and history is almost palpable.
Gov. Millstone’s illegal alien resettlement agency (aka, the Office of New Americans) will open in mid-July, following passage of the supplemental state budget in the early morning hours of April 18th. The new office will coordinate the flow of taxpayer-funded benefits — food, housing, healthcare, education, legal services — to foreign nationals regardless of their immigration status or criminal background.

It was clear from the beginning, when Mills issued her executive order last August, that the new state office would make no distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
Tobin Williamson, a lobbyist for the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition — one of dozens of government-funded nonprofits that pushed LD 2167 to enactment — said the quiet part out loud while the bill was still pending:
“One aspect of the bill we like is that it does not distinguish between types or categories of immigrants.”
Janet Mills couldn’t have said it better herself.
Thanks to our friends at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIRUS.org) for their help in shining a bright light on the ramifications of LD 2167’s enactment. Maine First Project has worked closely with FAIR’s leaders and staff since 2016, when I sponsored a Governor’s bill to defund sanctuary cities in Maine.

And if you’re interested in aligning with like-minded Mainers who will not quietly surrender our state to guilt-ridden, self-loathing Leftists, check this out:
Maine First Project will offer a free Activist Training in Kennebunk this coming Saturday from 9 am to noon. This invitation-only event will focus on grassroots organizing at the local school district level. Our regional chapters of Mainers for Excellence in Education, under the direction of executive director Zach Gelpey, will top the agenda. Click HERE to let me know if you’re interested in attending. Seating is limited, so don’t delay.
We will be joined by Maine First Project’s legal counsel, Jack Baldacci, with the Augusta-based Steve Smith Trial Lawyers. Jack will provide a brief review of the case law on K-12 bathroom policies, and the prospects for legal action to protect the fundamental privacy rights of female students. We have set aside time for Q&A, so come prepared with your questions.
I’ll be briefing attendees on the path forward in the wake of Gov. Millstone’s illegal alien resettlement agency being tucked into the state budget on the last day of the legislative session.
In the meantime, don’t despair. Instead, remember the words of the Psalmist:
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Psalm 37:1-2
Best Regards,

And there’s this, too. Worth memorizing:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Remember in November that we have the inalienable right to alter or abolish this tyranny, and institute new government.
