Update On Maine’s Plan To Give Illegal Immigrants Free Rent For 2 Years
This 2 years of free rent is free if they don’t have a job, motivating illegals to do nothing but live off taxpayers
The apartments illegals get for free would cost $1,800-$2,300 per month for American Citizens
Maine will be helping illegals get jobs by going through the federal work authorization process and secure employment while they get their rent for free
Illegals only have to pay 30% of the rent if they make more than half the average salary of $60k per year, otherwise it’s free!
After 2 years they’ll be expected to pay 30% of the rent (While Americans living in Maine will continue to always pay 100% of their rent)

Dan Brennan, the executive director of the Maine State Housing Authority, told WCSH that the program is a "unique solution to a very exciting opportunity in our state."
