Immigration in Maine: Myths & Realities
Joel Furrow, Executive Director of The Root Cellar, a volunteer organization that has been assisting impoverished neighborhoods in Portland since 1984, will speak on this topic.
Joel has spent many years working with various immigrant communities in Maine and is very knowledgeable on this subject.
On the agenda for discussion are items including the current status and the laws impacting immigration in Maine. And what can we do to assist or alleviate the problems currently facing Portland as a result of increased immigration to our State?
The Portland Republicans look forward to seeing you on Thursday, August 18th!
