The governor of Ohio will send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants that has landed it in the national spotlight.
Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday he doesn’t oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020, but said the federal government must do more to help impacted communities.
His news conference was held just hours before the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump, where the divide over immigration policy was sure to be an issue.
On Monday, Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also drew attention to the crisis when he directed his office to research legal avenues — including filing a lawsuit — to stop the federal government from sending “an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities.”
But he’s taking additional action.
“These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen,” he said, noting additional influxes are occurring in Findlay and Lima, Ohio. “Moms who have to wait hours in a waiting room with a sick child, everyone who drives on the streets, and it affects children who go to school in more crowded classrooms.”

The troopers are there to protect the Hatians.
Send more cats.
Be careful! Those big kettles out in front of the houses aren’t Halloween decorations.

Deduct that plus a billion from the handout that republicans always support via the endless democrat budgets. #GutlessRepublicans
I want to know who decided to force these Haitians on a small city where they would be a third of the population? And why? Was it a test case to see if they can steal a town?
Just why do the DIMocRATs love illegal alien invaders more than they do American Citizens? Anyone who supports this invasio0n despises America and Americans.
Sounds like the Mayor and Gov are in on it.
Follow the money.
The cockroaches have been planted… drive them out of there and they will just ruin the next town…
Folks, our GOVERNMENT did this to us!.. Intentionally.
Interesting American Pravda did not name the city in its title
Ohio didn’t vote for Hillary in 2016. This is Clinton Revenge expect more pain. Seems like the democrats have targeted Ohio for pain.
Will they protect the cats?
It’s funny to me that people don’t realize how long this kind of thing has been going on. Here’s an example from the 70s:
“Vietnamese Refugees in Bayou La Batre
In the 1970s, following the end of the Vietnam War, a significant influx of Vietnamese refugees settled in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. This marked a major demographic shift in the town, which had previously been a predominantly white, fishing community. Today, nearly 25% of Bayou La Batre’s population is Vietnamese.”
Do you think the people of Bayou La Batre had a vote in this? They did not.
“Mike DeWine said Tuesday he doesn’t oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people”
DeWhine is a knucklehead of the first order.
I remember when Vietnamese shrimpers were caught illegally harvesting endangered turtles eggs along the Texas beaches.
The first observation of immigrant Vietnamese in LA was violations of fishing laws, especially undersized catch.
“...a surge in temporary Haitian migrants...”
Temporary?????? What is temporary about these illegal aliens invading this city????
