Small Town Ohio Residents Reel From Harris Migrant Crisis

A report published in early September detailed the fallout from the Biden-Harris administration decision to bus roughly 20,000 migrants to the small town of Springfield, Ohio.

Over the last three years, the population of Springfield has increased by a third, bringing the total number of residents to 60,000, according to the Washington Stand. All of the new residents are Haitian migrants, who are now suffering under the mismanagement of their relocation. Crime and traffic accidents have spiked substantially, as well as adding new pressures on municipal services.

“I think the overwhelming concern is that there was no preparation, no planning, no anything to help the schools or help the citizens adjust and accept this huge wave of people. And so now we have this burgeoning population that started a few years ago when a former mayor agreed to bring in 10,000 Haitians without telling anybody,” former high school principal Millie Chamberlain told the outlet.

Some 350 new students were registered by Haitian migrants in Springfield on the first week of school. Some 20-year-old Haitians who don’t speak English are being placed in classes with 13-year-olds. (REMEMBER: Kamala Wants Police Out Of Schools)

What Do Locals Have To Say?

“I have a 20-year-old granddaughter who works two jobs, pays city tax, a 23-year-old grandson who also pays city tax and federal, state and all the other stuff,” said one resident, noting that the immigrants often get access to services before locals. “She works two jobs, she’s pregnant, and it took us four months to get Medicaid for that young lady. And she couldn’t get any of her tests done.”

An estimated 90% of those waiting in line at welfare offices are Haitian immigrants, leading to hours-long delays at offices. Non-English-speakers have pushed healthcare budgets for translators up from $43,000 to $436,000 in just four years. And the time for consultations has increased from 15 minutes to 45, further exacerbating the crisis. (TAKE A POLL: Shroud Of Turin Reveals New Link To Christ)

“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard,” said one local woman. “I don’t understand what you expect of us as citizens. I understand they’re here under Temporary Protected Status and you’re protecting them… But who’s protecting us? If we’re protecting them, who’s protecting me?”
