Facing an impending humanitarian crisis, Portland Family Shelters Director Mike Guthrie has a simple message to anyone who will listen, "We need help!".
The asylum seekers were relocated to motels in three other southern Maine communities, according to Portland city officials.
The city administration asked Border Patrol, Health and Human Services, and participating non-profits to stop sending asylum seekers to Portland until sufficient resources become available to adequately care for them.
On June 2, in remarks before the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, Mills committed the state to building a new emergency shelter in the city and said she was working to create additional housing for asylum seekers in the area.
One long-time Maine resident, who visited the Portland Family Shelter to see the situation for himself, told The Epoch Times, "Mike Guthrie is like a man frantically trying to bail out a sinking rowboat, while his superiors continue to drill holes in it."
Guthrie explained that the route to Portland for most of the asylum seekers begins in chaos-torn western equatorial Africa.
When asked if the asylum seekers are Christians, Guthrie answered that many ride a bus to church services on Sunday morning.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
