During the most recent Presidential debate, Donald Trump made reference to reports of pets being eaten by Haitians in Springfield, Ohio as an example of the kind of chaos created by open borders. The ABC “moderators” then “fact-checked” Trump by indicating that they had spoken to the city manager in Springfield who had denied the reports were true. The obvious point of this “correction” was to suggest to the average viewer that Trump was spreading disinformation and inciting Americans to hostility toward illegal immigrants. Everything in Springfield would be just fine you understand were it not for MAGA racists and xenophobes.
So, leaving aside for a moment the question of to what extent animals are or are not being eaten in Springfield, let’s take a look at what is actually going on there.
Some 15,000 Haitians have been dumped in a community of roughly 58,000. These are individuals transplanted here from a nation in chaos, where civil order long ago broke down. They are now expected to function in a completely alien society, one in which the rule of law is respected and enforced. Small numbers of them might reasonably assimilate over time. There is no chance of that given the size of the community in question and the numbers of new arrivals.
The result was pre-ordained from the outset. It was always going to be chaos.
Haitians in Springfield routinely operate motor vehicles without licenses or insurance. Motor vehicle accidents are common. The uninsured drivers simply abandon their vehicles and leave the scene. Car insurance rates for everyone are skyrocketing as a result. Serious injury is frequent.
Residents report individuals coming on their property, leaving trash and dumping refuse. Most of these individuals do not speak English. Residents are afraid even inside their homes and don’t know where to turn.
Health care in Springfield has also been seriously impacted. Most of the Haitians dumped there have had no access to health care in their lives. They are arriving with all sorts of diseases and maladies and completely overloading the health care system. Legal residents of the town now wait for extreme periods of time to get treated themselves.
Schools are feeling a similar impact. They are not only now expected to teach huge numbers of additional students they are required to find some way to communicate with children most of whom do not speak English.
Nowhere is there any indication that the federal government intends to do anything about any of these issues. These people have simply been abandoned in the middle of Ohio and left to fend for themselves. Joe and Kamala may have opened the borders but they have no intention of dealing with the consequences.
The Governor of Ohio has reacted to the chaos in Springfield by sending in the state police and redirecting state funds to the municipality. The state’s Attorney General has directed his office to research legal options to stop the federal government from sending “an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities.”
In an effort to support Springfield in this time of crisis the state of Ohio is now:
- creating a school-based health clinic in the Springfield City School District to expand primary care access for school children and their parents throughout the community
- increasing support for vaccinations and health screenings through the local health department
- allocating additional funds to the Clark County Department of Job and Family Services for translation services
- providing funding to Clark State College for services to teach English to Haitians.
- providing driving simulators and offering driver education classes targeted to the Haitian community
- working with the Springfield School District to maximize existing resources and provide ongoing support to deal with the surge of migrant students
Springfield is not the only community feeling the pain. Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small town on the Monongahela River has seen a 2000% increase in the number of Haitians sent there. Crime and traffic accidents have skyrocketed. Muggings and car thefts are now common.
The schools, as in Springfield, are overwhelmed. They do not begin to have the resources to handle the situation. Most of the new arrivals do not speak English. A sizeable percentage have never been to school in their lives.
There’s now a new lefty-apologist story for every photo of Haitians and geese and/or pets.
One is that the man walking down a street with TWO geese was entitled to them by law after they were killed by being hit by cars!
(A “roadkill” law.)
Geese can fly.
Geese don’t get hit by cars.
Let alone TWO of them.
I dare anyone to show me how TWO geese got hit by cars in the same street on the same day.
Geese hang out in parks, not on streets.
I call BS, having been around geese my entire adult life.
Time to close the Gate and end t his Invasion and return them to where they came from far away from Springfield Ohio back to Haiti and No Returns
Plain and Simple we don’t want Open Borders and Haitians doing as they please return them to Haiti and the Demo-Rats as well
As time goes by even more evidence will surface of them eating cats etc. because like all of the “conspiracy theories” cited by the left, this one is true as well. Besides, they rewrote the rules as to who has the burden of proof with their PT witch hunts. It is on them to prove that cats and pets aren’t being eaten.
Democrats don’t expect their illegal immigrants to assimilate. Like the Muslims that immigrate, the cloister in communities, take them over and then elect their own representation that will keep them herded together, voting leftist. If they assimilate, they might just acquire some American ideals and vote for the survival of the nation instead of a socialist utopia.
