Michigan homeowners offered $500 a month to house illegal aliens
Michigan is finding itself overwhelmed when it comes to housing illegal aliens and other aliens in their state. To help ease the pressure on state resources, they’ve stood up a program for homeowners. If they take in qualified “newcomers,” they could get up to $500 a month based on immigration status and household income.
From Breitbart:
According to the state, those eligible include, refugees, asylees, special immigration visa holders, victims of human trafficking, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Afghan nationals, and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees.
Others who qualify include individuals who arrived under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, individuals with a pending asylum application, and other immigrant individuals on a case-by-case basis.
Amy Hovey, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, claimed the program would help migrants “build a new life here.”
“This program is truly a win-win, as it addresses the most pressing barrier to refugee resettlement by meeting housing needs while setting up families for success with increased employment and opportunity,” Hovey said in a statement issued when the program was first revealed.
The program is being paid for with $4 million from the state-funded Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund
Michigan became the final destination of migrants from Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burma, and Ukraine, taking in more than 700 in 2022 alone.

Why would people who entered the country under the Family Reunification Parole Process need to be housed? Wasn’t the point of their entrance into the country that they would be living with family members who already reside here?
Yoink
Ssssshhhh!
Don’t look behind the curtain!
$500 per individual or per family? Hack Stone is confident that legislators have written the proposal so that there would be no abuse of the system and people would not take advantage to unjustly enrich themselves.
You mean unscrupulous types without mailbox doors might say, put them up in a tool shed out back? Yes, I have seen that.
It’s a win-win for homeowners, as they can make a bundle on parking and concession sales generated by hosting cockfights in their basements.
Not to mention their cut of the bookmaking action!
Don’t forget the “home business ” aspect. Kind of like a 24 hour pharmacy with a drive up service.
All the bathtubs full of cheese.
Or….go the H.H. Holmes route and open up a boarding house that always has a vacancy or two. They ARE ‘undocumented’
After all 🤣
I used to like watching his program ” Holmes on homes”, but my local cable provider rebundled different channels, and they want extra for the diy channel. I wasn’t paying the extra money for 1 or 2 programs.
I read somewhere about someone who was enjoying having illegal aliens in his/her home. They were doing chores, menial tasks, cooking, and basically serving as “servants.” I don’t remember if this is real, or if they are making things up so that people would be “encouraged” to house illegal aliens.
Chris Plante from WMAL talked about that about two months ago. The lady was “hosting” an “immigrant” from Haiti, pretty much ganged pressed her into becoming her Hazel or Alice The Maid. Wondering if she knows anything about “birthing babies”.

Thanks, this story sounds very familiar.
Democrats in 1860:
“We had to bring them here like this. They’ve got nowhere else to go. It’s a better life for them here this way.”
Democrats of 2024:
“We had to bring them here like this. They’ve got nowhere else to go. It’s a better life for them here this way.”
The parties never switched. The Democrats had to give up using “iron chains” for enslavement, now they’re using chains of ignorance, political correctness, wokeness, entitlement, etc., to keep people enslaved.
Being a productive member of society, using one’s God given talent, is one of the ways people could enhance their individual, and collective, freedoms.
$500 a month to allow this guy to sleep in the same house as your 12 year old daughter? You would be fool not to take advantage of that.
Execute on sight. No trial necessary.
Body farms gotta be supplied for LEO training.
The article mentions that some of the folks are coming in from Haiti… Given what had been happening over there, do the homeowners really want to take any of these individuals in?
C’mon man, it’s not like they will do anything unseemly, like cannibalism.
Those following this blog, and who have seen the memes form the Boomer thread, would be able to spot one of the themes in the photo above involving the folks having a barbecue.
If he offers to work the barbecue grill this weekend, it would be best to politely decline. Unless you have a hankering for a Manwich.
Weeeeeel, just how many of those from Haiti or elsewhere have documented vaccinations, y’know like what the libtards were screeching for us to have as well as legit ones?
Are you an American citizen? Mandatory masking… Mandatory vaccinations… Are you an illegal alien? Why, welcome, come, come… (Does not ask for vaccine status or require mask use…
Take in aliens? Presumably “vetted” by the state? Not only “NO”, but “HELL NO”. Not only do I doubt the veracity of the state’s vetting, but just as sure as the sun rises in the east, there will be so many strings attached to this (KOFF!) “win-win” (KOFF!) that a homeowner may as well become a fly and jump into a spider’s web.
Win-win. Suuuure. A “win” for the state. A “win” for the alien. That accounts for both “wins”. What’s left? A big fat “LOSE” for the homeowner.
Trying to figure out how two sides can win. For someone to win, someone else has to lose. Haven’t we already seen instances where “unhoused undocumented immigrants” were placed with host families, who were subsequently killed by their “guests”? What vetting was conducted in those cases,
I believe the Democratically accepted term is “newcomers.”
It is now the only approved word defined as describing them in the official D-rat “Newspeak Dictionary.”
Speaking of “vetting”: No doubt someone will take up the states offer and sponsor some of these “guests”. If they do, they ought to make sure their immunizations are up to date.
Considering a vast majority of illegals come from 3d world countries with substandard healthcare, they’re probably bringing with them all sorts of diseases that this country hasn’t had to deal with over the past several decades (measles, mumps, Hepatitis A, Tuberculosis, etc.)
I believe Chicago has had a few reported cases of measles, but I think they were reported in error. As in, we didn’t want that to get out.
Chagall, dengue fever, severe Tuberculosis, polio.
Chagas parasites. No cure exists. Must have complete organ transplants, heart,lung, intestine, kidney , liver to survive.
Unknown in the USA, 20 years ago.
I think I read somewhere about a case or two of malaria.
Plague, Ebola, no big…
There is a reason places like Ellis Island were built.
Now that you mention it, Michigan is seeing the beginnings of a measles outbreak. Centered mostly in the democrat strongholds of Detroit, Dearbornistan, and the rest of the suburbs.
Coincidence, I’m sure.
The people that voted for Donald Trump did so partly motivated by Trump’s desire to secure the border and to mitigate this mess. The people that voted for Joe Biden did so partly motivated against the idea of preventing these people from coming in.
Perhaps they should go to the homeowners who voted Democrat and see if they would take these foreigners in. Those who voted to help resolve this issue or to mitigate it should not bear the burden of those who made this problem worse.
If it were up to me, every Democrat that goes to a polling place next November gets to cast their ballot, but cannot leave until they are issued an illegal transplant (or two, or three) that they must take home and sponsor indefinitely. It would be compulsory and they would have no say in the matter.
Cast a vote, get a migrant. 1 migrant per vote cast. It will be easy to see who voted multiple times.
Make them like green stamps.. collect 10 lawn maintenance workers, trade 5 of them for a cook or a maid. Collect the set, this offer void where prohibited by law. Not available in their country of origin.
When it comes to bearing the costs, these Democrats would probably vote once, or not at all. They’ll take the risk of voting multiple times hoping to never get caught and hoping that the election goes their way. However, put a cost to their voting Democrat… As in suffer the consequences of Democrat policies, and many of these virtue signalers might change their tune.
It would be a comedic turn of events though, where we’ve gone from goodies being offered at the voting locations, offered by candidates wanting to be voted for, to getting an illegal alien for every Democrat vote made.
When leftists call for letting everyone in, they want to validate themselves for “being the good folks,” but someone else has to do the labor and sacrifice. Notice how the leaders of many of these sanctuary cities pontificated about being welcoming, and declared that they would not cooperate with immigration officers in charge of bringing these illegals in. Virtue signaling is great provided that they get all the social media upvotes and credits… Then they saw a fraction of the true cost of what is taken on by those at the border and all of a sudden tunes started to change.
“ The people that voted for Donald Trump did so partly motivated by Trump’s desire to secure the border”
Exactly right! Thank you Sir!!
Is it just a coincidence that this is announced as the problem of “squatters” seems to be growing?
Politicians (here’s looking at you Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer) and bureaucrats like Michigan’s State Housing Development Director (Amy Hovey) should first lead by example and host illegals in their own homes before asking voters to do it.
They set the conditions for this, so let them deal with the consequences.
Also add the Democratic voters to the list. Donald Trump worked to secure the border and needed $5 billion to complete the task. The Democrats had issues with Donald Trump’s border policies and argued that we should just let people in. It’s easy for them to say that when they do not bear the costs and sacrifices that come with their communities being flooded by illegal aliens. So, perhaps they could “walk the walk” and bear the consequences of their arguments and votes.
$5 Billion to complete the wall and NYC now spends twice that every month to house illegal aliens!
This fact escapes a lot of Democrats when they face resistance, from a good percentage of conservatives, for additional funding for Ukraine. Trump asked for $5 Billion, and he had to fight tooth and nail, and scrape the bottom of the barrel while fighting resistance every step of the way. The past two years showed that this didn’t need to happen.
The states putting illegal aliens on busses and shipping them out to sanctuary cities are spending less on these illegals than what has to be spent on them at their destination cities. Maybe if Trump wins in November, and starts calling for funds to finish up the wall as he originally intended, more people might take him seriously… At least one can hope.
Once you got ‘em — you can never get rid of ‘em.
My own realtor in CT even said, “if they ask, always always always say helllll no.”
Squatters in the making.. eventually the states will try and force this shit down us peasant’s throats.
Just send them all the fuck back. Adios.
You forgot to add mother phucker after adios.
No one seems to address how hosting “non-family members” in your domicile will impact your homeowners insurance, HOA regulations and local zoning ordinances. That $500 will be the most expensive money you ever “earned”.
6000 extra per year you can now be taxed on as well. What if they start looking up or downloading kiddy porn on YOUR computer. Do you think law enforcement is going to believe it’s not yours? I mean, your house guests no habla english.
No habla? No problem…

“Just send them all the fuck back. Adios.”
Attached is the German version of your sentiment. I’m sure lots of you know what “Guten Heimflug” means, but I’ll translate anyway. Basically, “Bon Voyage” or “Good flight home”!
This poster from the NPD caused quite a stir in very liberal Deutschland when it appeared at bus stops, etc. I still laugh out loud when I see it.
“I still laugh out loud when I see it.”
And now I will, too. Thanks.
Go Home
One of the things that Donald Trump plans to do, should he win this November, is to initiate efforts to do mass deportations. Reduce the number of people illegally coming here just for the benefits, and reduce the number of people who could be called upon to be saboteurs should the United States find itself in hot war against China.
That’s exactly right. Once you let them in, they’re “residents” and have the right to be there. Then when they trash the house, smoke pot in the living room, eat all your food, park their hoopties on the lawn, “borrow” things that subsequently end up in pawn shops or for sale on ebay and you object, there’s nothing you can do because they live there.
In six months or so we’re going to start hearing sob stories about the homeowners who had to move out and abandon their homes to the “newcomers” because living with them was intolerable but they were unable to evict them. It’s going to last for years.
On the plus side, it’s virtually guaranteed that the idiots who fall for this scam and are victimized are the very soft-headed liberals who voted for open borders and sanctuary policies in the first place, so I won’t lose any sleep over it.
And a new, related wrinkle: I just read the proposal. The $500 a month is only for a year. So after the year is up the government stops paying you for the people living in your house, but they’re “residents” so getting them out requires you to start civil eviction proceedings which can take a year or more to wend its way through the court system and cost tens of thousands in legal fees.
So even if the “newcomers” are ideal houseguests, it’s very likely you will end up having to spend more to get them out than you received in “rent assistance” in the first place.
After a year, Michigan courts will probably reclassify
“newcomers” as a protected class and consider them “disenfranchised victims” because of “capitalist white xenophobe racist policies” and dismiss civil eviction proceedings (because they’ll most certainly will have dropped or dismissed any criminal charges committed by them against the homeowner or the community up to that point.)
Homeowners will have no recourse because redistribution of property and erosion of rights is the desired end state of these lunatics.
Under the “you will own nothing but be happy” concept, they would not even need to seek volunteers. The public masters would simply kick the former homeowners (they own nothing) out and move the illegal aliens into the home.
Precisely.
They suspended evictions for the Covid “crisis”, so they will probably do so again for the migrant crisis after another year or so of this unchecked Drang Nach Norden.

Then, the homeowners sit on their sofa and then hear these “squeaky noises.” With their “luck” the illegal aliens that they housed ended up having crappy unsanitary habits… Resulting in rats/mice (having taken residence in said sofa) eating some of the food scraps from dishware shoved underneath the sofa… They were going to bring the dishes to the sink later but forgot to do so as they’ve done on a regular basis.
“Squatters in the making.. eventually the states will try and force this shit down us peasant’s throats.” — Deckie
The folks that made this a bigger problem than what it needs to be would be spared from this “forced down the throat” initiative if it were to happen. Just picture someone who supported Donald Trump for his efforts to secure the border being forced to house these illegal aliens in your scenario.
To add damage to injury, many of these folks are being released from prison, or are being spared prison, if only they illegally emigrate to the United States.
I can see it now. Let’s say you accept the 500 a month from the grubermint, now little Jimmy can get those braces. But wait, does that also mean you just entered into a contract with the state to provide housing? Will your house meet the acceptable state minimums for habitability? Handicap accessibility? Bedroom/bathroom requirements for all living there? How would you evict if your new friends started tearing up what you are providing? What if you sold your house and moved. Are you required to take them with or ensure they have a place to live? Or, do they go with the house when you sell.
So many questions, only 1000 word limit.
Inquiring minds want to know.
What a deal. Where do I sign up?
Awaiting the news reports of illegals changing locks on doors once owners leave.
You would have to take them everywhere to prevent that. Vacation (may require a bigger vehicle), boating( may require a bigger boat), errands, golfing, fishing, hunting. Don’t let them do yard work lest you be labeled as one who hires illegals and pays them nothing in return.
Boating you say? Be a damn shame if said “newcomer” were to fall overboard.
“Man overboard!”
“Quick, throw him an anvil!”
What if the nautical challenged does not self identify as a male? You’ll be hauled in front of a judge for the crime of misgendering. By the time you get done shouting “Nonbinary Gender Fluid Individual who goes by the personal pronouns of xi/zer overboard!”, the confused individual will be in the belly of a Great White Shark, who is obviously racist, since anything white is racist.
Sounds like a self-correcting problem to me. The only person who could complain would be fish food. 🤣
If they sink smelling like cologne, do the fish leave them alone 😏
Damn, I remember that old saying!🤣
Not. Fucking. Happening.
I’ll just stick this right here…as a reminder…
$500 a month is an insult.
$5000 a month is tempting if I don’t live there and they keep the
place clean, mow the lawn and vote for Trump.
$50,000 a month and I don’t care who lives there or why.
Let me do the math: in 2018 $500 bought a lot more stuff. I decided to forego a voluntary third year on the Trail for $500/mo. (that’s $875 total counting SDAP) for the sake of my sanity. At the time it was just me and my dog in a little loft apartment in GA. In 2024, $500 is supposed to entice me to risk my family and home to house criminal invaders? I’m on track to fully own my home in under 10 years, have my wife and three teenaged daughters with me now, and to boot have another dog and two cats.
Don’t get me wrong, I can always use some help around the house, and I like to cook large meals, but inviting strangers that will be difficult to communicate with into my home is not happening. Besides, with the current state of things, how does this affect the rights of the homeowner? As other commenters have mentioned, will certain guidelines be established requiring that homes be opened for inspections or more intense violations of privacy? As a gun owner, will be I held accountable if my safe is broken into and a gun used in a crime? Do I come home from work one day to find the wife and kids in the driveway after they went shopping and came home to find the locks changed and our “guests” claiming the house as their own?
$500…laughable. $5k will rent my shed, and I’ll even put power and a camp toilet in it.
Virtue signalling is worth more than your family’s safety, comrade– or are you a no-good, migrant-phobic “racist” who can’t afford to live in Martha’s Vineyard like your progressive betters?
Those doing the virtue signaling want all the benefits but don’t want to commit to the sacrifices and hard work that would come with doing what their virtue signaling for. Someone else bears the sacrifice and headaches for the efforts that would give the virtue signaler credit for their good act. Just like many of the leftists, they want things without having to work for it or earn it.
Sending illegal aliens to sanctuary cities was a good move… It forced the leftists in those areas to see reality, a small fraction of it, but enough to wake many of them up.
A free $500.00 a month???
They don’t eat much, do they?
Sure, open your home to a possible threat!! What could go wrong?
These states want to transfer the costs, risks, headaches, etc. of housing these illegal aliens to regular homeowners and regular property owners.
Not here. I didn’t allow it, didn’t want it, don’t agree with it. Ain’t paying any more than the slimy politicians allow my tax money to pay for!
I’m with you. I’m a homeowner, and have no intention of doing anything like this. I voted for Donald Trump partly because he was actually doing something regarding uncontrolled illegal immigration. It’s not my fault that they committed widespread election fraud in favor of a fraud that they installed in the White House. It would be like “double jeopardy,” paying the price for having my say “erased” by election fraud when I was among those that wanted the border issues fixed. Lucky for me, we have a Republican governor who would not place homeowners in that situation.
Didn’t ask for it, don’t want it, won’t pay any more than some slimy politicians will allow my tax dollars to go for! Come out to my front yard out in the middle of no-where! It ain’t the US border. A lot different outcome!
I’ll leave you alone,,,leave me alone!!!!!!
They voted for this, they committed election fraud for this, they should bear the costs. Instead of turning to private citizens to help them solve the issue, they should bear the cost of their decision. We should not have to bear the costs, and efforts, to cover for government incompetence, especially for people who would illegally cast their ballot for the party that made this problem worse. It’s like that cuckoo hatchling that forces the actual eggs of the host birds from the nest just to be raised by the parents of the unborn chicks that they just killed.
Please, PLEASE do a followup on this…i’d love to see how many people actually take ‘advantage’ of this shit.
The shit won’t be getting real interesting until the one year government stipend expires and the homeowner tries to encourage them to move on. Anyone who thinks that this is a good idea should watch Pacific Heights first.
This sounds somewhat familiar
https://theviewfromladylake.blogspot.com/2024/03/calvins-alien-encounter-doesnt-pay-off.html
I’m certain everyone has been reading about the squatters stealing homes.
If you invite an illegal in, you will have to evict them in court.
Which is a long and costly process.
You are also forced to pay for the utilities of the people you are evicting.
And we have all heard of the newcomers who have murdered their host family.
Although if they will work for free, it would be nice to have an unpaid slave
All good until they start pissing in your kitchen sink and the family dog gets pregnant.
Or gets eaten.
Are the Koreans coming too?
Hopefully the ones of the “Rooftop” variety.
What could go wrong?
How much time and bandwidth do you have? 🥴
Wonder if this “problem” is in the Upper, or just the Lower half of Michigan?
Mostly on the southeast side of the Lower Peninsula, you know, Detroit and it’s ‘burbs, Ann Arbor, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw. Mostly Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties.
Speaking of migrating…folks are leaving the counties that (((voted))) for sniffy, creepy, gropey, joey…
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-great-migration-numbers-are-in-on.html
Guess which political party benefits from this move? Way too many people, living in the blue areas, can’t make the connection between Democrat policies and the crappy conditions that exists in their localities. So, not having learned their lessons, they move to better pastures… Then vote Democrat.
The problem of people invading our country and wandering around is to have everyone that voted in open borders put these peeps up in their homes
These folks would vote in politicians who would ease up on the “racist policies” that restrict illegal immigration while not expecting to bear the cost of their decisions.
It’s like that referendum they held in my city. If the referendum gets passed, the city would raise taxes to help bring the measure to reality. Those who would not have to pay real estate tax would not be directly impacted, so they have a way to “do good” without paying the price.
The Democrats would not provide the full details of what would happen down the road, just a few information to get their people to jump into action… But not enough information to where their strongest supporters would reject the referendum. The measure passed, and when these folks have to pay more for food, merchandise, service, etc., they’re not going to make the connection between their vote and the increase of costs of goods/services sold.

Hopefully, they catch him, and then he “squats” in a detention center. He could make a TikTok video about his experiences and then another one detailing his consequences.
Hopefully he gets his ass straightened out during shower time in some facility, knowhutimean?

Maybe I should direct these questions and so many more to Amy Hovey who had the audacity to “claim[] the program would help migrants “build a new life here.”
Wait? We can build here?
X to doubt.
How many is the governor housing in their mansion???
