Maine Governor Mills is reportedly backing a bill that would establish a State office dedicated to assisting illegal immigrants, referred to as 'New Americans', to integrate into society. The bill has sparked controversy as critics, including military veterans, question the prioritization of resources for illegal immigrants over U.S. veterans. State Representative Deqa Dhalac, a sponsor of the bill, has defended the prioritization on the basis that veterans already speak English and therefore require less assistance. This has led to a wider debate about the state's commitment to its veterans and the allocation of support to illegal immigrants.
