The government’s delivery of roughly 20,000 migrants to Springfield, Ohio, has been a boon for real estate, local employers, auto salesmen, merchants, and the migrants — but also an unwanted shock to locals as they try to manage their own community.
The damage was displayed at the August 27 city commission meeting where voters presented their concerns about the migrants.
“Maybe we should open up go-kart land again so that people can have a chance to learn how to drive without being on these public streets,” long-time resident Jeffrey Allen told the mayor and four other commissioners.
“I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,” Anthony Harris, who describes himself as a local YouTube influencer, told the council. “These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings. They’re… flipping cars in the middle of the street.”
“I hate the traffic concerns that you all see,” Mayor Rob Rue said later in the meeting
Across the community, the aisle, all levels of politics, all races, we are concerned about the traffic. I personally am concerned about the traffic. I have almost hit and been hit myself. I have kids that are learning how to drive well, and it is a concern. I have the same fears that you as grandpas and aunts and uncles have. I say this with passion.
City officials are working with state traffic officials, the mayor said:
We’re asking for a program that will focus on reckless operators, speeding, red-light violations, dangerous driving, and we’re going to initiate a 30-day blitz, and this will be highly publicized … to bring attention to the enforcement of driving laws on our roads.
Springfield’s local problems are suddenly a national issue in an election about President Joe Biden’s migration policy.
His successor, Kamala Harris cannot dodge the issue. In 2021, she declined Biden’s request to take a large role in the nation’s immigration policy. Since then, with her support, Biden’s powerful border chief has imported at least 400,000 Haitians into American society:

The vast majority of Springfield’s 20,000 migrants are from Haiti. Most of the migrants crossed the U.S. border illegally — often by pushing through the Panama jungle — and now have been given Temporary Legal Status by Biden’s pro-migration deputies.
The new population has upended the city.

NEW: Springfield, Ohio man says car insurance rates are skyrocketing in his town because the illegal Haitian immigrants don’t know how to drive.
The video from the man comes as Haitians are accused of eating pets in the small town of 60,000.
Up to 20,000 illegal Haitian immigrants have reportedly overwhelmed the small town in the past four years.
“I just got off the phone with the insurance company and was told that my insurance went up because of the cost of doing business in my area.”
“Me and my wife, have good driving records, no accidents and over. I mean, she’s never had an accident.”
“I live in Springfield, Ohio where the influx of Haitians are, and we have had an enormous amount of car accidents because they don’t know how to drive.”
“We gotta do something about it. One-third of our population is now Haitian immigrants, undocumented people.”

In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false.
Do you know what’s confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases–like TB and HIV–have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don’t know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can’t afford to put a roof over their head.
Here is Kamala Harris bragging about giving amnesty to thousands of Haitian migrants.

If you’re a reporter, or an activist, who didn’t give a shit about these suffering Americans until yesterday, I have some advice:
Spare your outrage for your fellow citizens suffering under Kamala Harris’s policies. Be outraged at yourself for letting this happen.
