The Law and the rest of city government and the Governor seem complicit in this project. Seems to be providing cheap labor to the factories in and around Springfield to replace those expensive citizens. There is a lot of money to be made by the businesses and by the politicians who can allow a lot of illegality to go on for a price.

Yep. And from what I understand, the plants are getting tax credits for hiring them.

Mayor owns many properties under an LLC and owns a local funeral home in the same area.

Special Report: Renting apartments to Haitians is
big business for Springfield Mayor Rob Rue, others
Buckeye Reporter ^ | 09/20/2024 | Buckeye Reporter reports
Posted on 9/20/2024, 5:50:59 PM by DFG

A Buckeye Reporter investigation has confirmed that Mayor Rob Rue of Springfield, Ohio, is renting out apartments in buildings that he owns to Haitian immigrants—a move that some local residents are calling a conflict of interest.— snip —

A few blocks away from Little and Rue Funeral Home, also owned by Rue, a 37-year-old man who introduced himself as “Works” lives in an apartment on an estate worth an estimated $1.3 million. Works told Buckeye Reporter that he and other Haitian immigrants reside in properties owned by Rue.— snip —

According to public records, Rue owns several rental properties in Springfield through his company, Littleton Properties of Springfield LLC. In addition to being the mayor, Rue is the President and General Manager of Littleton & Rue Funeral Home. Rue became the Mayor of Springfield in 2023 and previously served as City Commissioner and Assistant Mayor, and is actively involved in local community boards.

Several residents have expressed disappointment with Rue’s leadership, suspecting he may have ulterior motives as he has overseen a significant influx of Haitian immigrants over the past two years. Approximately 20,000 immigrants from Haiti have been brought into the community, with rumors suggesting that another 10,000 may arrive. (Excerpt) Read more at buckeyereporter.com ...
