How many Haitians are living in Springfield?

There’s no official tally. Mayor Rob Rue told CNN the city’s population has grown about 25% over the past three years, in part due to the arrival of Haitian immigrants.

Between 12,000 and 15,000 immigrants are living in Clark County, which includes Springfield, according to estimates on the city’s website. Of that group, an estimated 10,000-12,000 are Haitian, according to a July presentation from the county’s health commissioner, who cited data from school and social services officials.

The 2020 Census estimated about 60,000 people were living in Springfield, and 2022 data from the American Community Survey indicated about 2% of the city’s population was born outside the US

“Koveleski, the interpreter and community activist in Springfield”

I think I found the culprit. ACTIVISTS! Probably part of an NGO! These groups are like termites to a country’s foundation. They need to be fumigated into extinction.

Was it because the Middle Class there was doing too good and needed to be destroyed?

Dumping people of color into white enclaves is what obama wanted to do. It just took a little longer than he thought it would.

Mike DeWine and his wife have had a non-profit school running in Haiti since around 1998. It was named after their daughter who was killed in a 1993 car crash. According to news articles, the school was forced to close last year due to the horrendous violence in the area.

So what did Mike do? He brought that violence to Springfield, and now Haitians are eating people's pets, while crashing cars into buildings, and running innocent Americans over with impunity.

Really CNN? You know why. Because those hicks refused to vote Democrat. So overwhelm them with maggots who will as you have done across conservative America.
