Ohio city plunged into housing crisis after 15,000+ migrants arrive: 'Setting us up to fail'
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | July 13, 2024 | Elizabeth Heckman

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."

Yup—the city needs to put them in tents next to the solid waste processing center.


Doing that will make them feel right at home. Suggest Dearborn. They can mix it up with the muzzie scum in Michigan.

They need to keep them out of the “swing” states—that is why CA is perfect.

“…without additional federal assistance or support, communities like Springfield will fail.”

So immigrants flocked to a place without Freebies? Haitians are family oriented, religious, and mostly conservative. If they can make it without government support they will not be a natural Demonrat constituency.

Look at how the so called Hispanic vote is turning Trump. Which explains why Democrats are seeing the wisdom in choking off Latin American immigration.

Can't Springfield just put the new illegals on a bus and ship them somewhere else? it worked for Martha's Vineyard.

How about sending them to the United Center in Chicago? The dem convention would love to have a few thousand illegals around for color, so to speak.

Squatty brown non English non Spanish speakers are getting dumped off by the bus load in my neck of the words. No idea where they are staying, The grocery stores are packed with them with kids in tow all paying with EBT cards. We never had street vendors but now there are people selling the type of trinkets and garbage you would see in Central America. We are so screwed.

A one-way bus ride to Washington DC seems like a good solution. Offer the invaders $1,000, a bologna sandwich with chips and a bottle of Pepsi. The lines will form around the block. Cheaper than housing one illegal for a week.

That’s why Biden and the UniParty is punishing that immunity. Soon enough these uneducated Haitians will be able to vote Democrat and flip the community.

Want to see what native Haitians are like? Watch the movie, "Black Hawk Down". The mission of our Forces and the UN was to provide supplies to the poor of Haiti. President Adide and his forces were at almost every air drop and confiscated those supplies for his tribal forces.

Once the JSOC got the go ahead to capture Adide, the entire city turned out to fight our Seals, Delta, Rangers to protect those supplies for Adide. It was a horrific battle, especially once a Blackhawk when down in the middle of the city. Our forces had lost the initiative.

Although we lost some 18 troops with 73 wounded. On the up side, almost a 1000 Mogadishu savages were killed.

Answer me this. Why is Haiti so savage when right next door is the Dominican Republic that is a tourist attraction and ex-pat destination? Answer: Tribal Culture

Haitian Creole is derived from French. So wouldn’t it make more sense to send them to New Orleans where they could understand the local lingo? And New Orleans has never regained the population figures it had before Katrina.
