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.
It is the Cloward-Piven Strategy, developed in the 60’s by two Marxist Columbia University professors, and instituted by Obama.
In a nutshell, the strategy is designed to overwhelm the welfare system of a country until it collapses the government, then the Marxists take over and eliminate the opposition.

And this is why we need a TAX on Entertainers at whatever percentage necessary to exclusively fund 100% of the Illegal Aliens present in the USA.
Beverly Hills.................

“But the bottom line is these people came to Springfield because there were jobs for them and they were willing to work.”
Which is it? No jobs or opportunity? Or were there jobs?
They’re called champagne socialists and limosine liberals for good reason.
They’ve got theirs...screw everyone else.
He’s a: Pop singer/producer/writer/actor/Judge on The Voice/idiot.................
Another “not in my back yard” liberal elitist.
Wonder when was the last time this schmuck ever visited his hometown?
I wonder how they’d react in Malibu, CA if they were told 20,000 Haitian refuges were being relocated into their city.
I don’t think it would ever happen.
Thank you both for the supportive responses!
What I would seriously suggest, without a hint of hyperbole or humor, is that not just the 20k in Springfield, OH but all 20,000,000 million illegal aliens go to or be sent to Wash. D.C..
There they should set up camp, take whatever they need to subsist and ask why they were invited, encouraged and directly supported to come here when the majority of Americans do not want them here and do not approve of anyone illegally entering the U.S.A..
They should demand that the White House, the Senate and the House answer that.
They are the people responsible for their presence here.
Sounds good to me, “but then the State government won’t get the kickbacks.. I mean gravy.... CREDIT, or is it CASH.
To be fair, Martha's Vineyard, population 21,000, needs 7,000 foreign born residents. If they don't want to damage their social credit scores, they're gonna need to recall those 50 that they sent away, and contract for 140 busloads more to boot.
Isn’t Martha’s Vineyard an island?................
Isn’t Martha’s Vineyard an island?................
An island populated by NIMBYs, 0bama among them.
Exactly. He might be from Springfield, but I seriously doubt he spends much, if any, time there now.
Send the 20,000 to Johnny’s current neighborhood.
