Vivek Ramaswamy Duels With CNN's Kasie Hunt On Springfield and Influx of Migrants
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/24/2024 10:51:51 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

There's one thing you must say for Vivek Ramaswamy: he's unafraid to go into the center of controversy.

Ramaswamy waded into the pro-Hamas fray in Chicago outside the Democrat convention. And appearing on today's CNN This Morning, Ramaswamy described his experiences in holding a town hall in Springfield, Ohio in the midst of the controversy over Haitian immigration there.

[snip]

Hunt tried to get Ramaswamy to say that Trump's recent comments about Haitians eating pets have led to the outbreak of tensions. She also cited Laura Loomer's comments that if Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry. Ramaswamy responded by saying that rather than "airlifting" a word that Trump or a supporter says, we should focus on the bigger issues surrounding immigration.

While Hunt wanted to focus on Trump and Loomer's words, Ramaswamy rightfully insisted:

"We can't sweep under the rug, in a town of 50,000 people, you had an influx of 20,000 Haitian migrants to a community that was unprepared to actually integrate them. Migrants who are unprepared to integrate themselves."

Let's go out on a limb and surmise that few if any members of the liberal media have experienced that kind of drastic demographic change in their neighborhoods.

Ramaswamy proposed a simple policy on the matter: the US should only accept immigrants who can speak English and who will not become reliant on welfare.

Ramaswamy then made a sly suggestion:

"If people believe that we should admit migrants who are going to be reliant on Medicaid or welfare, then they could represent that view."

Looking at you, Kamala! Indeed, Harris has gone an egregious step further, saying that illegal immigrants should receive free gender-transition surgery.

My wife is originally from China. When I married her and brought her here LEGALLY, I had to sign an affidavit stating that I was totally responsible for taking care of her and that she would not be supported by the government.

Everyone still does; problem is, no one enforces it...it’s an “Affidavit of Support.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The leader of a nonprofit representing the Haitian community of Springfield, Ohio, filed criminal charges Tuesday against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, over the chaos and threats experienced by the city since Trump first spread false claims about legal immigrants there during a presidential debate.

The Haitian Bridge Alliance invoked its private-citizen right to file the charges in the wake of inaction by the local prosecutor, said their attorney, Subodh Chandra of the Cleveland-based Chandra Law Firm.

Well, a bunch of immigrants were brought there and Nantuckians got rid them within a day or two. They just didn’t have the services for them. They weren’t prepared for them. Blah, blah, blah. Soooooo racist s/

Exactly!

When I think it was DeSantis who flew maybe 20 immigrants into one of those places, they freaked out and had them off the island in hours!

When the left gets all twisted about an issue you know it’s true.

Good for Vivek Ramaswamy - it’s waaaaay past time for us to STOP treating these bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the press like they’re journalists... They’re NOT. They’r owned by the democrat party.

Democrats don’t respect the press - why should we?
