Haitians are not just arriving in Springfield, Ohio, but also in small rural towns nationwide as a result of several Biden-Harris administration policies.
Since fiscal 2021, more than 485,000 Haitian illegal border crossers, a record, have been reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The overwhelming majority were reported this fiscal year, nearly 216,000, compared to 48,727 in fiscal 2021.
Since fiscal 2021 through August, the majority have been apprehended at the southwest border of nearly 262,000, followed by nearly 221,000 nationwide and nearly 2,300 at the northern border, according to the data.
Additionally, since July, 205,000 Haitians have been released through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. Of the more than 765,000 illegal foreign nationals released into the country through the CBP One app, the top nationality is Haitian. Through these programs, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also extended Temporary Permanent Status to them and granted work authorization.
All of these programs are illegal, state attorneys general who've sued to stop them, argue. U.S. House Republicans also cited them as among the many illegal actions Mayorkas caused them to impeach him. Mayorkas has since only expanded the programs and extended TPS.
When responding to the Haitian influx, local officials claim Haitians are there to work and are contributing to society despite claims by residents to the contrary.
The city of Springfield claims a "surge in our population over the last several years, primarily due to an influx of legal immigrants," suggesting that Springfield "is an appealing place for many reasons including lower cost of living and available work."
Springfield Mayor Bob Rue has said "my hands are tied in many ways" about the influx of Haitians, pointing to a designation they were given by the Biden-Harris administration. The TPS program "came from the White House and is a Homeland Security policy," he said at a recent city commission meeting.
Springfield residents have argued the overwhelming majority of Haitians are enrolling in welfare and not working; have caused increased crime andthere aren't enough police to deal with it; and residents are being killed by Haitian drivers. Rue has expressed concerns about the dangerous driving conditions, saying, "I have almost been hit myself."
In the last three years, Springfield's 50,000 population has swelled by roughly 20,000. City officials claim they are there "legally" through TPS through Feb. 3, 2026.
In Sylacauga, Alabama, residents have been demanding answers about busloads of Haitians being dropped into their community. At a Sept. 5 city council meeting, City Council President Tiffany Nix shut down a meeting and made the issue about race. "We have no reason to treat people differently because of how they look," she said. "There's no reason for us to discuss this any further." She also said, "I'm going to welcome anybody to Sylacauga that wants to come to Sylacauga," 1819 News reported.
Sylacauga resident David Phillips said, "there is no way the State Department can vet these people," adding that they were coming from a failed state and potentially dangerous.
Residents continue to speak out. At a Sept. 17 meeting, Nix said Haitians were there on 18-month visas. A meeting has also been scheduled with state and federal lawmakers.
In Coffee County, one resident claimed, "30,000 illegal aliens are scheduled to arrive in the first week of October, 1,000 of them in Baldwin County," and that human trafficking was involved, 1819 News reported. Enterprise City Councilman Greg Padgett posted a statement on Facebook saying, "Enterprise is not a sanctuary city; No elected officials have received bribes to allow Haitians into our city; No one informed the elected officials of our city about this program, how many are here, and for what purpose - so there has been nothing covered up." He also said they are "doing our best to obtain factual answers."
In Charleroi, Penn., the immigrant population has grown "by over 2,000% in just the last two years," primarily due to a Haitian influx, 11 News reported. Despite this creating a strain for the local school district, Charleroi Council Borough Manager Joe Manning told KDKA News, Haitians aren't "a drain on our resources, they don't cause problems."Charleroi Council President Kristin Hopkins-Calek said their community is "steeped in a rich history of immigration," and Haitians were making a positive contribution, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported.
Under current law, the majority of Haitians being released into the U.S. are inadmissible but have been ordered to be released by the Biden-Harris administration and given "notice to appear" documents for an immigration court hearing years into the future. The NTA states they are inadmissible, CBP officials have explained to The Center Square. Several U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security reports acknowledge their NTA inadmissible status and state their release, not removal, violates federal law established by Congress. If federal law were followed, House Republicans argue the large majority would be prohibited entry.
Many inadmissible Haitians became citizens of Mexico, Chile and other countries, living and working there for years prior to claiming asylum in the U.S., The Center Square has previously reported. Border Patrol and local Texas officials first realized this when what became 30,000 Haitians descended on Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021. Many left their passports and identifying documents – which show their citizenship was not Haitian – in Mexico, claiming they had none. The majority were released into communities nationwide, The Center Square reported.
If you listen, you can hear the drums and see the smoke from their fires late at night. Foghorn’s Southern Fried Chicken has got a new “sacrifice bucket” for all Haitian Umpteeth Holidays Joe Pedo will be creating until they can get him out of the White House basement. I’m hopin’ the Marthas are getting a good dose of life “enrichment”. ROTFL!
The damage Joe and Harris has done to this nation.. To the people they were to protect, (according to the Constitution), the absolute disregard for neither the people nor the nation, will not be their crowning glory.
I do not know how a person would do this to the one great and blessed nation of the world.
Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Child is going to top number one in those areas
Soon, many towns across America will get to have the Springfield OH experience.

Dumping a group of foreigners on a place equivalent to 1/3rd of the local population is the sort of thing that Herodotus would describe a tyrant doing to punish a city for rebelling or siding with his enemy in war

I live near and travel to Enterprise, AL, frequently. The Walmart always has Haitians throughout the Walmart doing who knows what, they are always sitting at the entrance/exits, and they have shopping carts full of food. They all line up at the money services desk to, what I can only assume, receive federal tax dollars. They are wearing very nice clothing. Some hang out across the street at the entrance of a bank. They all have the same cell phone, I can only assume, provided to them.
It’s insane.
Conniving lowlifes......
Haitians told they were inadmissible into the US became citizens of Mexico, Chile and other countries,
living and working there for years, then jumping our border claiming asylum in the U.S.
Border Patrol and local Texas officials were victims of collusion
when some 30,000 Haitians descended on Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021.
The connivers left behind their passports and identifying documents –
falsified to show citizenship other than Haitian - claiming “they had none.”
The majority were released into US communities nationwide.....
and are pigging out at the public trough as we type.
I just saw on news, Biden to speak at UN.. Oh my, how embarrassing. How can they let him do this...
And Ukraine Pres is going to ask Biden for more $$$$.
No more, Joe.. No more!!!!
Lord, deliver us from this nightmare.
Y3ars ago it was the Somalis- now the Haitians. Maine was I undated with Somalis flown in by democrats in power. Many other places were popu,ated with them too, most likely in an effort to turn red areas blue.
I’m afraid that even if Trump is reelected and has a GOP dominant Congress, they swamp will find a way to keep Trump from deporting the millions that have infested our country.
We have become rome in her last days and the barbarians are already inside the gate.
It was a good run while it lasted.
I think the Lord has turned His back against us as we as a nation has turned ours against Him.
I’m not particularly religious but even I can read history and the Bible and see the results of a nation that turns from sound family based culture to to lawlessness and wickedness.
I had not made the connection, but I have observed them here, too.
Ironically, now I’ll see them everywhere… /s
Biden-Harris administration and their party policies enemies of the state light blinking.
“I do not know how a person would do this to the one great and blessed nation of the world.”
I agree. It’s tragic, but Americans watch mostly passively as it is happening. The tragedy might be that historical Americans aren’t what they used to be.
On a positive note, the problems caused by the uncivilized pockets of immigrants are receiving national publicity, and polling shows that the uncontrolled immigration is considered a serious problem.
The leftists are seeding the country with enemy combatants.
I agree.
We rejected Gid so He’s leaving us to handle things ourselves.
But we are pitted against spiritual forces we cannot handle.
for later
I'd like to hear from the townspeople, not the bought-off City council president or borough manager. Wonder how the "ordinary folk" like their children's schools flooded with Haitians who do not speak English, are years behind and will suck up a lot of resources, or their auto insurance premiums doubling or Haitians opening cans of food in the supermarkets, sticking their fingers in and putting them back on the shelf?
I Am a Christian. And this nation has tried to remove God. Or replace the real God, with a religeon that suited a living style less strict.. Or with the freedom to. Do. Go. Be whatever...
Obama was elected twice.. And he told the world we are not a Christian nation.
For anyone who comes here and wants to change it to where they came.. Stay where you were!
I am a senior.. And the new United States, programmed from years of sin, renamed and made acceptable via the frog.
What was taboo and parents teaching the no’s of life.. Is on TV for your grandkids.. Your family, to see at will.
When I was in school, we all walked to the local church for Good Friday service. The main problem in high school, was gum on the floor.
One of my sons, educated and had a bright future ahead, became ill with no hope to recover. As men sometimes are.. He was self reliant and God was in the Bible.. He knew the Bible..Jesus ‘was a man’.
The Bible was written ‘by man’.
One night he had a vision.. Found himself in a place like heaven. He saw family there.. A glorious place.. What had not been real, was now vividly real. Jesus was there.
He came back, a changed man. We had family together.. We all heard him talk about what he saw.
The Lord took him to glory a few months later.. I shall see him again.
