Portland, Maine, is struggling with an influx of asylum seekers.⠀
⠀
Though Maine's largest city has long offered a generous hand to immigrants, a local official recently began alerting shelters in other parts of the country to discourage people from heading to the waterfront locale.⠀
⠀
"The word is out there that our community is open to that population and has some assistance programs," said David MacLean, administrator of Portland's Social Services Division. "Our local resources are not able to keep up."⠀
⠀
Ninety percent of the people living in Portland's city-run family shelter and overflow shelter are asylum seekers, primarily from African countries. New arrivals sleep on mats and pro-bono lawyers are overwhelmed with cases.⠀
⠀
Maine, a slow-growing state known for lobsters and long winters, has for years looked to immigrants to boost the workforce and population. Foreign-born residents fueled more than 75% of population growth in Portland and the surrounding area from 2011 to 2016, according to a report co-produced by the city.⠀
