Michigan Needs You to Open Your Home
It’s a big world
The Office of Global Michigan works to make Michigan welcoming and inclusive.
In alignment with this overarching goal, our office takes the lead in advancing equity and inclusion initiatives throughout the state, including spearheading programs for the seamless integration of newcomers. Global Michigan’s dedicated teams are focused on empowering immigrant, refugee, underrepresented and marginalized communities across the state to achieve their highest potential. Our aim is to contribute meaningfully to a Michigan that embraces diversity and actively promotes inclusivity, ensuring that opportunities for growth and prosperity are open to all.
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.
Disregarding in the story… 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 idiocracy – 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.
In 2020, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer created the Office of Global Michigan.
And now that office is asking Michiganders to serve as sponsors to refugees. Sounds like a win win?
In the 2024 budget, Michigan lawmakers approved $39,127,500 for the Office of Global Michigan. Only $758,000 of that came from the general fund. The lion’s share, 98%, or $38,369,000, came from the federal government. Michigan is a top-10 state for refugees, according to the Office of Global Michigan.
Michigan has chosen to follow the private sponsorship model of refugee resettlement. That, too, came from the federal government.
