Singer John Legend has called on the residents of Springfield, Ohio, to accept thousands of illegal Haitian migrants into their communities, claiming former president Donald Trump lied about them eating pets.
Legend, who was born in Springfield, posted a video to his 15.8 million followers on Instagram saying Trump’s claims about the illegal migrants were false.
“So I think all of us need to have the same kind of grace that we would want our ancestors to have when they moved here,” Legend said.
“Springfield has had a large influx of Haitian immigrants who come to our city,” said the singer.
“Now, our city had been shrinking for decades. We didn’t have enough jobs. We didn’t have enough opportunity, so people left and went somewhere else.”
He also claimed the local economy had grown because of the Haitians.
“And during the same time, there has been upheaval and turmoil in Haiti,” Legend continued.
“The federal government granted visas and immigration status to a certain number of Haitian immigrants so they could come to our country legally,” he continued.
“There are plenty of reasons why this might be a challenge for my hometown,” the singer said.
“But the bottom line is these people came to Springfield because there were jobs for them and they were willing to work.”

Legend then compared the immigrants to others in U.S. history, like Poland, Italy, Ireland, and Germany – conveniently forgetting to mention that people from those countries came in legally.
“They commit less crime than native-born Americans, and they will assimilate and integrate in time, but it takes time,” he said.
“So I think all of us need to have the same kind of grace that we would want our ancestors to have when they moved here with our Haitian brothers and sisters,” he continued.
“Nobody’s eating cats,” he added.
“Nobody’s eating dogs.”
Legend concluded by saying, “love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”
He concluded by appealing to the Christian tradition to “love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”
Contrary to Legend’s claim that “nobody is eating cats,” residents in Springfield have reported that the Haitian immigrants are eating pets and killing animals in broad daylight.
Send them to the richest neighborhoods in the US.
Dixie Chicks treatment
How many migrants is he letting move into his mega mansion just saying
Show me ONE Marxist celebrity a-hole who has taken in a single Haitian “newcomer” without a taxpayer subsidy. These people are loathsome frauds.
Hey Francoise, when did you stop eating cats? Fair question. Everyone knows that cats and dogs are good in Haiti.
Damn. They are FOOD in Haiti, not GOOD.
Cats was what his no-talent wife ate where she came from.
It’s irrelevant if they are eating animals. If they are illegal, they don’t belong there.
And that many should NEVER be inflicted on a community. It doesn’t have the resources to deal with them, and it is clearly destroying the city very rapidly.
Exactly. Tell them all that he has the room for them.
I believe that John Legend ancestors were cannibals so...
Send the Haitians his way. He will either eat them or they will eat his pets.
Just more millionaire (multi!) preaching to us about eating bugs, giving up our cars, HVAC’s, etc.
F* them.
Where does John Legend live?... Maybe we could send them all there?
That is, Legend.
Why would they send 20k of Biden’s new Workforce to a town that had very few jobs? Because that’s not the real reason?
“Nobody’s Eating Cats.”
“Maybe not, but they (and other domesticated animals) are required for Haitian voodoo.”
If Voodu is involved they’re probably drinking the blood.
But I also know that food sources globally vary widely. Americans are sheltered and close minded to think otherwise.

That’s a good point. Leftists will protect their lies and deny the truth at all costs.
How many are you housing and supporting in your mansions?
Easy to say
Do as I say not as I do
Who is John Legend? I’ve never heard of the guy.
As dfwgator said on another thread
“I went back to Ohio/And my kitty was gone....”
LOL....As the great Rodney once said in response to this...."What am I supposed to do - jerk him off too ?"
