Gee, the right wingers love shrugging responsibility as well, so lump them together, label them all IRRESPONSIBLE and send them on vacation. Oh, wait, they're already gone!

You mean until you started your extreme left/right bullshit. Can always count on you to push your extreme rightie cow flop in pretty much every thread you enter.

He thrives on the ignorance of believing that nothing is ever the fault of the right, in particularly the extreme a-h's who like the extreme lefties, manage to keep everything contentious and wasteful with useless posturing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan’s Department of Labor and Economic Development (LEO) has launched a new initiative to welcome and support immigrant, refugee, and ethnic communities in the state.

The goal is to make Michigan the home of opportunity for these groups by assisting them in securing housing, enrolling their children in school, and finding employment. The LEO is encouraging everyday Michiganders to get involved in this effort and help make Michigan a more welcoming and inclusive state.

The Office of Global Michigan, a part of the LEO, is spearheading this initiative. Their mission is to foster partnerships for immigrant inclusion in workforce development and make Michigan a home of opportunity for all. Through expanded refugee resettlement pathways, everyday Michiganders can now provide refuge and support to a refugee family of their choosing. This program, known as the Welcome Corps, is a key component of the Office of Global Michigan's efforts to build a more welcoming and inclusive Michigan.

Michigan's Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer and Director of the Office of Global Michigan, Poppy Hernandez, shares that the goal is to make Michigan the home of opportunity for immigrant, refugee, and ethnic communities. She believes that with the expanded refugee resettlement pathways, everyday Michiganders can play a critical role in supporting the state's growing refugee population and making Michigan a more welcoming place for all.

One of the pathways available for private sponsorship is sponsoring refugees of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, or Venezuelan nationality who had a Form I-134 or I-134A already filed on their behalf by September 30th, 2023. Sponsors are expected to provide support for the first 90 days of a refugee's arrival in Michigan. This program presents an opportunity for individuals and families to make a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of refugees seeking a new start in Michigan.

Global Michigan highlights the significant contributions of the foreign-born population to Michigan's economy, political landscape, and social fabric. According to their data, immigrant households have an annual spending power of $18 billion, and approximately 15% of business owners in Southeast Michigan are immigrants. These statistics demonstrate the valuable role immigrants play in driving economic growth and diversity in the state.

The Office of Global Michigan is also actively involved in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the state. They collaborate with Michigan's Equity and Inclusion Officers to ensure that policies and initiatives are inclusive. By working together, they aim to create a more equitable and welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds in Michigan.

The expansion of refugee resettlement pathways aligns with Michigan's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This initiative is an example of how government agencies and everyday citizens can come together to create a more welcoming environment for immigrant and refugee communities. By opening its doors to refugees, Michigan has demonstrated its values of compassion and humanity, making it an attractive destination for individuals and families seeking a new home.

The global refugee crisis has been a pressing issue in recent years, and with the expansion of the resettlement program in Michigan, the state is taking a proactive approach to addressing it.

This initiative presents an opportunity for Michiganders to make a direct and sustainable impact on the lives of refugees, helping them to integrate into a new community and rebuild their lives. As more people and families call Michigan home, the state will only become stronger and more diverse.

Well now. How about that!!! Perhaps Gov Abbott (TX) and possibly Gov Newsome (CA) will start bussing more illegals there to take advantage of the opportunity Michigan is offering. I'm sure NYC will really appreciate it.

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

YES little denny you have. But what you never noticed is every other member here including me has said it too. Now how did you miss that part? Congress is at fault for many things gone wrong in America. Why it is like having a lying corrupt SWAMP right there in Washington. Who knew.

But how like you and the Left to continue supporting the SWAMP.

Well, I'm not sure that I would go for that. I've been reading that there have been millions of service aged men from the Middle East and China that have crossed....enough to make a formidable army. How many Arabs did it take to pull off 9/11.

FrumCA

Yes. That too. This is one glaring example of biden's failed border policies.

I have read all kinds of speculation about all those single military age males, esp the Chinese & Middle Eastern ones. I don't know who is right but just in case the Doom Sayers are right I have checked my ammo supply and loaded a couple of instant ready magazines.

I pray that my feeling I am just a paranoid, old, white haired Vietnam Vet is correct and the worst that will happen is spring fatigue in those magazines.

In addition, I have 3 radio transceivers*, one for me, my wife, and our oldest son (Army Reserves and FEMA volunteer), that operate on the emergency channels and Ham (I am licensed.) If the "Big One" (after all I do live in CA) knocks out power and phone service (or the Doom Sayers are right) we will be able to communicate with each other, the PD, Emergency groups and the local Ham community.

*My original one from when I got my Ham license is a "Military Grade" model. It also works on Federal Rail Road channels-I belong to the operations department of a Rail Way Museum, and we never had enough radios for busy holidays. The other two are 4 1/2 star rated Chinese made units that were on 50% off sale (yeah, add 60% then deduct 50% for the sale) with an extra $15 off each radio you bought after the 1st one. They seem to be fairly well-made (just in case I bought heavy padded belt carriers), they work, and I paid $19 extra for the US Distributor to pre-program all my local emergency channels (some are listen only). Now all I have to do is the local Ham repeater and the Rail Road channels for use at the Museum.

To Conservatives and those of us who love this country the Biden policies, most of them, are failed policies. But for the Left these policies are well thought out to destroy America as the Founding Fathers envisioned.
