Ford1600 of Canaan, ME, Before you send ALL immigrnts back where they came from you might want to take a look at your family heritage. Where did your ancestors come from? Where did they immigrate from? The majority of americans immigrated from someplace else, unless of course you are a native American Indian.Just don't be so harsh.These people are only trying to protect their families.

I cannot imagine watching my daughter being shot and killed in front of me. I hope and pray they do well in Maine.

You guys are pathetic. Spoiled rotten brats, even. You're whining about 200-300 people moving to your state because you might have to shell out a couple of extra bucks in taxes, and want to see these people sent back to be raped, shot, forced to see family members killed, have acid thrown on them.... You people disgust me. You don't know what hardship is.

"After four months in Georgia, the family had seen a sharp cut in local benefits, he said, so that they couldn't afford rent."

Come to Maine...we will set you up with some benefits....all the welfare you want.

Where are these jobs coming from that this group is going to get these people.
Why hasn't this group gotten jobs for the people here in Maine that are out of fuel and food for their kids???.
Is this group blind to deaths of their own neighbors kids deaths due to crime here in their own country,,,,.
Send all of them back to their own countries to tuff it out just as we do!!!.
THAT GOES FOR ALL IMMAGRANTS
