Maine city turns basketball arena into migrant shelter, asks residents for donations

Portland resident rips city leadership for prioritizing illegal immigrants over homeless Americans amid the costly reopening of another shelter.

Portland activist Richard Ward suggested Wednesday the municipal priorities may be upside down after claiming the city gave vagrants sleeping bags and tents while migrants were housed in the Expo Center.

"Last year they told the people that were Mainers, Americans that were homeless – they gave them tents and sleeping bags and they kind of did the same thing," Ward told "Fox & Friends First." "The Expo Center was opened up for asylum seekers and then Americans that were homeless were given tents and sleeping bags."
