Here’s a headline that got me thinking:
The state of Michigan is reportedly pushing a program offering citizens $500 a month to take in migrants.
The program, called the Newcomer Rental Subsidy, is set to provide shelter outside state shelters for “refugees.” The assistance would be available to homeowners for up to a year.
Were I not living in a tiny apartment in Texas but in a large-ish suburban house in Michigan, I might be tempted to take the Idiot State up on its offer.
I know, I know; but run with me on this one.
Of course, there would be (several non-negotiable) pre-conditions for my acceptance, such as:
- Only single females aged between 25-40
- Unmarried / not engaged / no boyfriend
- No children
- Close resemblance to Salma Hayek
- Must be prepared to teach me Spanish, starting with conversational topics such as “Please undress me now”, and phrases of that nature
- Must know how to cook meals not just Mexican. e.g. steak, eggs and chips, toasties etc.
- Must accept “cash tips” for services rendered around the house, e.g. laundry, ironing, massages and other personal services
…I think you’re getting the picture.
Otherwise, of course, the state could stick it up its ass.
Our Gov here in Mass is trying the same thing, only without the cash incentive. Just relying on good old fashioned Democrat guilt, complete with a planted story in the party newsletter ( Boston Globe ) about a Brookline family doing just that. That was last week and no follow-up stories, so I assuming there were no other takers. Just a lot of stories and complaining about how much $ was being spent on hotels for the “migrants” in our Sanctuary State which is obviously Donald Trumps fault somehow.
Just a minute……., seems to me there was a ruckus around here a few hundred years ago, the last time some Govenor demanded that the locals take in non paying boarders.
