Maine pastor and African immigrant reaching those on the margins
PORTLAND, Maine (BP) – Known for lobsters, cobblestone streets and an iconic lighthouse, Portland is not generally considered a hub for immigrants. But according to the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, America’s “Vacationland” of Maine is home to 87,200 immigrants and refugees, including asylum seekers and undocumented people of all ages – some 24,000 of whom live in metro Portland.
