Bill Summary
This bill provides that the Governor may not relocate illegal immigrants into this State or take any other actions intended to authorize, approve or otherwise assist in the relocation or transportation of illegal immigrants into this State. As used in the bill, "illegal immigrant" means a person who is not lawfully present in the United States.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the Governor of Maine from relocating illegal immigrants into the state or taking any actions that would help facilitate their relocation or transportation. The bill defines an "illegal immigrant" as a person who is not lawfully present in the United States. By adding a new section to the Maine Revised Statutes (2 MRSA §11), the legislation seeks to prevent state leadership from assisting or enabling the movement of undocumented individuals into Maine, effectively creating a legal barrier against gubernatorial actions that might support immigration that does not comply with federal immigration laws. The bill appears to be a direct response to ongoing national debates about immigration policy and state-level efforts to control or limit unauthorized immigration.
