Ask the citizens of Springfield Ohio

Jmt is right though they probably are illegal. Remember all the Haiti people that were pushing across the border and the Biden administration tried to get the border patrol in trouble for supposedly wiping them. When clearly the video showed they didn't.

Yes by PLANE, at the expense of the American taxpayer. All brought in by the Biden/ HARRIS administration to boost their voting base of government leeches depending on DEMOCRATS for housing, food, transportation and education. As McEars said "fundamentally changing America". Now we see what he meant

I didn't say they were illegal, your fellow leftist did. My question is could it happen here ?

These were legal immigrants, not undocumented...

The people from Haiti - known as one of the poorest developing countries in the world - received temporary protected status from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, allowing them to stay in the U.S. due to conditions in their home country.


The article also shows that most of the social media rumors are just that... rumors. There's been no significant uptick in crime, etc.

Could it happen here? Unlikely. Springfield leaders had recruited several manufacturing businesses that created thousands of jobs, with no locals to take them. The Haitian refugees came to fill those jobs...


Wilkes has neither the jobs nor the leadership.

what border did they "walk across" the location of the "20k" is no where near the southern border. My guess is they entered how most illegal's enter.. BY PLANE!

Thousands of Haitians have arrived in Springfield Ohio since the COVID-19 pandemic, and residents have been pointing to an uptick in crime, mayhem and car crashes due to the massive influx of new residents. In a town of 58,000 people, about 20,000 Haitians have arrived, according to city officials.
