The border crisis has come to a small town in Ohio, as locals express concern over the influx of Haitian illegal aliens that have brought crime, a drain on resources, and even reports of pets and other animals being killed and eaten.
The details: Springfield, Ohio, a city of 58,000 people, has seen the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitians—an influx of roughly one-third of the entire population.
- The illegals have arrived through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s legally questionable asylum programs.
- Making matters worse, Biden and Harris granted temporary legal status to 300,000 Haitians through 2026.
What the locals are saying: Resident Anthony Harris called out the city’s inaction, stating, “These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, flipping cars in the street. How are y’all comfortable with this?”
- Lisa Hayes recounted being bullied by illegals at a supermarket, blocking her car and refusing to let her exit.
- A resident only identified as ‘Noel’ expressed fear over illegals camping outside her home: “They’re screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard… I want out of this town. Please give me a reason to stay.”
Drain on services: The influx has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for services like translators, and the residents are seeing increased wait times at hospitals, schools are over capacity, and illegals being given tax-dollar assistance for rent are pricing out legal residents.
Boy killed: Last year, an illegal alien in Springfield drove into oncoming traffic, crashing into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and injuring 20 more children.
Killing pets and local animals? Rumors spread online that the Haitian migrants have been seen killing and eating ducks and geese. And some reports claim they have also stolen pet cats and eaten them.
- One resident speaking at the city council meeting cited earlier said the illegals are “stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play. Relieving themselves in public. Making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park. This is insanity. And it has to stop.”
