Michigan’s new growth plan: Sacrifices must be made for the environment and team.

Last week Michigan Chief Growth Officer Hilary Doe described immigration as the green line in Michigan’s population story, the one number going up, besides prices, inflation, real estate, groceries, taxes, fees, fees for fees, convience fees, registrations, regulatory fees, utilities, interest rates, school loans, etc, etc, etc.

But A SEMCOG report last year found that 14,012 people aged 64 or younger left Southeast Michigan each year between 2010 and 2019, while 14,737 foreigners arrived annually. It’s 2024. It’s a stunning and brave new world – who cares about 2010-2019.

Statewide, immigration “helps offset our out-migration a little bit,” Doe said.

Doh is right… A little bit? Why are they leaving a climate haven is the question and why all of the sudden are Michigan citizens asked to let strangers into their homes to live.

Yes “sponsor” a family. Let’s start at your house.

In 2020, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer created the Office of Global Michigan.

And now that office is asking Michiganders to ignore common sense and serve as sponsors to refugees. Sounds like a win win.
