Springfield, Ohio is struggling with the influx of 15,000-20,000 Haitian migrants over the last few years into their community of about 58,000.
"This border crisis, the policy of this administration, is failing cities like ours and taxing us beyond our limit," said Springfield Mayor Rob Rue on "Fox & Friends First."
Rue described the wave of Haitian migrants into the area as a "quick increase" to the population just over the last five years.
"This has overwhelmed safety services and caused great concern for our community," he said.
City Manager Bryan Heck added that the city does not have the capacity to sustain this pace of illegal immigration.
"It's taxing our infrastructure. It's taxing public safety. It's taxing our schools. It's taxing health care…it's taxing our housing," he said.
Heck explained how the city experienced a housing crisis prior to the surge and said this "made it a hundred times worse."
"It's setting communities like Springfield up to fail. And, we do not have the capacity to sustain it, and, without additional federal assistance or support, communities like Springfield will fail."

Big burning question: how are Haitians getting to Ohio? They aren’t walking.
Who sent them to Ohio? Why not NYC?
Totally unacceptable. The city and state needs to sue the federal government.
I wanted to smirk and comment on how they voted.
But not in this case.

15,000-20,000 Haitian Illegals the worst of the worst
Springfield, Ohio should Just Say NO
Wait use Tents
There goes the property values!!! 15,000 HAITIAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!! OMG!
Was the orchestrated plan to create vacant commercial real estate and then to convert it to illegal immigrant housing??
The following article would seem to appear so....
The national office vacancy rate hit a record 19.8% in the first quarter of 2024, according to a preliminary report from Moody’s Analytics.
And it could get worse, as companies continue to lease substantial space despite a decline in the in-office footprint.
“The doomsday scenario has yet to play out,” wrote Moody’s experts. “With significant lease rollovers and shifting interest rate expectations, uncertainty remains over exactly when office vacancy rates will truly peak.”
Still, some believe the glut in office vacancies could offer up a solution to America’s ongoing housing crisis — by converting some of the available space for residential use.
“Who sent them to Ohio? Why not NYC?”
While city officials adopted a resolution 10 years ago declaring Springfield a “welcoming city,” Rue said ....
The city formed the Immigrant Accountability Response Team in response to community outrage following a fatal accident involving a Northwestern school bus hit by a minivan driven by an unlicensed Haitian driver. The man crossed in front of the bus that then overturned, resulting in the death of an 11-year old boy and injuries to about two dozen children.
Thicc Haitians and Kammie coming
From Port-au-Prince head to toe
This summer Springfield is suffering
Ten thousand in Ohio
Yup—the city needs to put them in tents next to the solid waste processing center.
> Who sent them to Ohio? Why not NYC? <
Somebody has made the calculation. New York reliably votes Democrat. Ohio does not. So why not dump these future Democrat voters in Ohio?
If we are fortunate enough to get Trump back into the White House, he will have to do something drastic to remove these illegals. Hiring a few more immigration agents won’t do the trick. It might take the National Guard.
Does Trump have the grit to do that?
blue is only around the bigger cities like Columbus, Cleveland and Cinci.
Otherwise Ohio is actually a very conservative state.
15000 migrants?
Kick.
Them.
The.
Hell.
OUT!
Just do what the communists did at Martha’s Vineyard.
Crate em up and ship em to Delaware, DC, Shitcago, Boston...wherever
nope...haitians...
Springfield, Ohio is part of Clark county which voted 60.8% for Trump. These patriots need to fight back against this illegal invasion by rounding up the invaders and busing them to Rehoboth Beach Delaware.
the influx of somalians into Maine has practically destroyed that state.
