Former President Donald Trump, who is the Republican Nominee for President in 2024, released a campaign video yesterday in which he attacked the Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer over her policy to pay citizens in Michigan who house illegal immigrants.
Whitmer has named the policy the Newcomer Rental Subsidy, for which there is already a website. On the website, which is owned by the State of Michigan, individuals are promised $500 per month for up to 12 months for housing for “Many refugees and other newcomers.”
The program will reportedly include subsidies for individuals in Michigan who house Refugees, Asylees, Special Immigration Visa (SIV), Victims of Human Trafficking, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Afghan Nationals and Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees.
Former President Trump issued a statement about this policy yesterday in a campaign video. Trump said,
In Michigan, radical left Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer is handing out $500 a month in cash to anyone that accepts illegal aliens into your home, isn’t that nice? She’s calling this scam the newcomer rental subsidy. In other words, she’s calling illegal immigrants, many coming from jails, many coming from mental insititutions, many are terrorists, she’s calling them ‘newcomers’… Isn’t that wonderful? And it’s all funded by federal taxpayer dollars distributed by Crooked Joe Biden. He’s the most crooked President we’ve ever had, and he’s by far the worst President we have ever had.
In other words, Biden and Whitmer are selecting and stealing your money to give free housing to illegal alien migrants and then asking you to quarter these foreign armies, and that’s what they are, they’re armies. They’re coming in at levels that we’ve never seen ever in our country before. But quarter these foreign armies in the spare bedroom that you happen to have next to your children. I don’t know, somehow it doesn’t seem like a very good idea considering many of these people came from prisons and jails. They came from mental institutions and insane asylums. Many are terrorists and they’re coming into our country, totally unchecked. Totally unvetted.

Immigration is once again going to be one of the largest issues for voters in the 2024 Election, as cities like New York have become overrun with migrants since Biden’s changing of U.S. border policy upon taking office.
