Migrant housing construction meeting sees Maine resident asking "am I too white ?"
[MAIL] Residents of a Maine town have hit out at the $13million construction of a complex of 60 apartments for asylum seekers, where they can live rent free for two years then pay a fraction of the rental price.

Locals in Brunswick have expressed fury over the project, which is being funded by a mix of private and public money and which has been heavily criticized by Donald Trump Jr.

The apartment complex in Brunswick is one of the many projects being launched by the town in what critics have labeled a 'Taj Mahal', red-carpet welcome for asylum seekers.

There are currently 180 apartments in the Brunswick Landing complex available for anyone to rent. A one bedroom unit costs $1,800 a month, while a two-bedroom costs $2,300 a month.

The new buildings for asylum seekers will allow residents to live rent-free for up to two years while they obtain work permits.

Then, if they obtain a job that pays half of the average local salary of $60,000, they will only have to pay a third of the rental price. It boils down to a monthly cost of around $500 for a one bedroom, and $690 for a two bedroom.

#2 If you have to ask, yes.

Private money = NGOs? The NGOs funded by the Infrastructure Bill and Inflation Reduction Act?

#4 ...then pay a fraction of the rental price.

Only world class morons will believe they're going to pay one red cent. What will Brunswick do when they all become squatters?

That is why Trump never built a wall, never even tried to
That is why republican party donors love migrants exactly like Dims do

Globalist Corporations and cartels love migrants because they DRIVE WAGES DOWN and weaken your democracy, giving them more power

#6 Never tried to build the wall?? Where did you get that idea, Anon1?

Even the BBC wouldn’t support that claim, though they completely ignore the lawfare court cases ginned up against the wall that slowed building significantly.
