I suggest housing them in the J Edgar Hoover building.

I saw an interview with one resident who said the entire feral cat population in her neighborhood has disappeared, as well as all the geese and ducks in the lake at the city park. IMO, this is just the tip of the iceberg. They are literally throwing Americans into the street and putting Haitians into the homes they were previously renting. These people are now living in their cars. And now car insurance has tripled in Springfield due to the Haitians wrecking their NEW cars everywhere.

Well, those dogs and cats won’t come to you so you have to leave.

They could always go back to Haiti if they don’t like it here.

First thing that crossed my mind after reading the headline? HORSE$H!T! We are talking about people who gleefully will gang up on a single person, I believe that those not Haitian have a lot more to fear from them.

“Haitians first started arriving around 2018 and chose Springfield because of job opportunities and affordable housing”

“I wish I had 30 more...Our Haitian associates come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. They’ll achieve their numbers. They are here to work. And so in general, that’s a stark difference from what we’re used to in our community.”

So "Welcome Springfield" gave the Haitians their last $5,000 and then disbanded mid-way through an election year, leaving no trace. How about that.

New Haitian center aims to support community, serve as ‘one-stop-shop’ for resources

"A new Haitian community center run by immigrants seeks to provide support for the growing Haitian community in Springfield.

The Haitian Community Help and Support Center is led by Haitian community leaders giving it a unique position, as many resources for this group are run by nonprofits and local government...

“What we realized is that there hasn’t been a Haitian structure as a grassroots organization in Springfield to ... take charge..."

Dorsainvil said the community center has received about $5,000 from Welcome Springfield, which is disbanding, and is applying for more."

Wow, this article leaves nothing to the imagination.

Springfield seeks to be immigrant friendly city

Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution last week that calls for the city to adopt policies that promote the inclusion and integration of immigrants in the community.

The city was approached about the legislation by Welcome Springfield, a nonprofit organization founded earlier this year to advocate for new foreign-born residents. With the growing Hispanic population in Springfield, it made sense to pass the resolution, Mayor Warren Copeland said.

It sends a statement both to immigrants and businesses who employ immigrants, said Welcome Springfield Executive Director Carl Ruby, a South Charleston resident.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio: "The recent wave of unaccompanied minors underscores the need for comprehensive immigration reform. We can't address our nation's broken immigration system by lurching from one crisis to another.

Welcome Springfield is also working with a variety of organizations to help immigrants tackle both health-care and financial literacy challenges.

The Ohio Jobs & Justice Political Action Committee, however, believes many of the immigrants aren’t starting businesses and have a difficult time assimilating to the United States. It eventually leads to them accepting social services, founder Steve Salvi said.

Salvi called the resolution “an insult” to city residents and said it won’t reverse a declining population. Springfield should work to attract U.S. citizens back to the area.

“No one hates immigrants,” Salvi said. “(Residents) are already welcoming. Why do you have to put it down on paper? It just doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Comments by Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley recently stirred controversy when she said Dayton was willing to be a destination if Congress approves funding to shelter the children.

Springfield’s resolution has no connection to that issue, Copeland said. The city has no capacity to deal with the children, he said.

“As a community, we’re not offering to have kids brought here who’ve been coming across the border,” Copeland said. “I know some other communities have been doing that. We don’t feel we’re ready to do that. That’s not what this is about. These discussions began long before the current discussion about the border.”

Homes? How do they already have homes? Who gave them homes? Do born and bred citizens get free homes?

Afraid to leave ‘home’?

Isn’t their home in Haiti?
