Angry at you for being such a vacuous nothing burger. Covfefe yourself.Ooo, someones angry.
Sounds like you don't know a whole lot either since springfield officials didn't even know they were going to get all these immigrants and now are opening an investigation.
Springfield mayor: Investigation into businesses, immigration continues
Springfield officials were in the dark about the possibility of a large immigrant relocation to the area, Mayor Rob Rue said at the recent Springfield City Commission meeting, but a “network of businesses knew what was coming.”
Investigation by the city’s Immigrant Accountability Response Team formed in October of 2023 has revealed the possibility “there were companies that knew they were going to make an effort to bring in individuals who were crossing the border based on federal regulations that they could do that,” Rue said. “I’m upset at the fact we didn’t get a chance to have an infrastructure in place if there were going to be 20,000 more people from 2020 to 2025. We didn’t get to do that.”
“Springfield is now saturated,” Rue said during the meeting when talk turned to Haitian immigration.
Asked by a city resident how many more immigrants might be coming to the area and about city interactions “with the people who have planned this,” Rue responded, “We’re not interacting with them, we’re investigating.”

Rue later added the city investigations are ongoing, but he indicated a report will be forthcoming once they are assured that they can do so without compromising any potential legal action.
“We want to make sure that the investigation is complete and we don’t ruin the investigation of anything before we’re able to speak to it,” he said, adding state and federal agencies also are involved in investigations.
The city formed the Immigrant Accountability Response Team in response to community outrage following a fatal accident involving a Northwestern school bus hit by a minivan driven by an unlicensed Haitian driver. The man crossed in front of the bus that then overturned, resulting in the death of an 11-year old boy and injuries to about two dozen children.
The driver is currently appealing involuntary manslaughter and fourth-degree felony vehicular homicide convictions.
Thousands of Haitians are in Springfield on Temporary Protected Status.
>> How could Temporary Protected Status extension for Haitians affect Springfield?
Rue said the Immigrant Accountability Response Team is comprised of a group of city staff members and has focused its investigations into three areas: immigrant employment, housing and driver instruction. The group is also consulting with state and federal investigative agencies in conjunction with those issues.
If they had known what to expect, he said, the city would have taken steps to “hire 25 more police officers and 25 firefighters … along with making sure individuals already living here and faithfully paying rent would not be displaced because of the greed of landlords. We would have been ahead of that or tried to combat it … we did not get to do that.”
Strides have been made by the Response Team, which has worked with the Ohio Department of Public Safety and Bureau of Motor Vehicles to develop drivers training programs tailored to address the language needs of Haitian immigrants and driver’s training needed to improve public safety. Advances have also led to expanded opportunities for Haitians to participate in English language classes locally.
>> Haitian-led community center identifies challenges, pressing needs for immigrant population
Rue again clarified Springfield is not a sanctuary city in response to another inquiry.
While city officials adopted a resolution 10 years ago declaring Springfield a “welcoming city,” Rue said, “That doesn’t mean we are actively bringing immigrants into our community that can’t handle the influx of folks.”
Concerns about public safety have also been the focus of city efforts, as they have tried to get the attention of state and federal governments who have no programs or funding in place to help.
>>Haitian immigrants in Springfield face complex immigration system and long delays
Rue criticized the federal government for permitting expanded immigration while providing no support to the communities absorbing thousands of new residents.
“We have taken this to our congressman … we should have the right amount of safety forces to take care of everyone who is here. If we have 12 to 15 thousand more people than we have budgeted to care for, we’re in trouble,” the mayor said.
Another conversation at the commission session centered on housing affordability and the housing shortfall that has been driving up rents, often resulting in the eviction of long-time tenants who can no longer afford to stay in their homes.
City officials shared the frustration expressed by residents about the increasing ownership of housing by Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) from outside the community. Rue said the city is looking into what options might be available to address the problems created by LLC ownership of properties in the city.
>> Clark County officials talk in DC about needs with growing Haitian population
Commissioner Bridget Houston indicated her recent exploration of the issue revealed one of five property purchases in the country is now by an LLC for investment purposes.
According to Rue, the Clark County Combined Health District will provide information and statistics from a new report about the influx of immigrants to the community at a work session preceding the next Springfield City Commission meeting on July 16.

I had not seen this video before but it is spot on with what I have been saying. All you dems should watch this video.This guy goes around the country, visiting different small towns. He’s done a bunch of videos in Iowa. This came up on my YouTube feed, he went to Springfield and talked with people there.
The guy sounds just like the person that made the honey badger video.
If what is stated about EBT is true, why would a republican controlled state not expose Haitians having 40k on EBT cards? EBT cards are state-controlled; the paper trail would reveal the truth.I had not seen this video before but it is spot on with what I have been saying. All you dems should watch this video.
Things are not what msm is telling you.
It makes sense how they got all the immigrants and also why it has taken so long to do something about it.
Why send a thousands of trash Haitians to take over a city? This on Biden and Harris. Yeah, trash.
You saw the local company CEO who said he’d like 40 more because they show up and work hard, unlike the lazy locals who won’t work or are strung out on meth?Why send a thousands of trash Haitians to take over a city? This on Biden and Harris. Yeah, trash.
I believe they said credible complaints. There is a difference between a crackpots calling shit in on a regular basis. And let’s say idk some normal or near normal persons going in something legit
FYI: you are at the "show me where it happened in any sport anyone cares about" phase...... it's almost like this is exactly what has happened everytime the dems have laughed off something as a right wing rant.I believe they said credible complaints.

I've got a buddy who owns his own handy man business in Denver, this is very real and hasn't gone away, and, at some point, someone is going to ask where the money they got bankrolled came from.
True, that doesn't change anything I or Teump said, which again, was completely whitewashed until it no longer could be contained.Drugs. It’s America everyone wants a piece of the pie. MC gangs, MS-13, crips, bloods, cartels, etc etc. All compete for new markets.
Throw enough spaghetti at the wall some will stick. But on the Macro scale of things this is small potatoes. Go to any trailer court in rural Iowa and it’s safe to say you could do a similar round up of drug gang members.True, that doesn't change anything I or Teump said, which again, was completely whitewashed until it no longer could be contained.
Do you think foreign governments would be focusing on Springfield, Ohio if Trump and Vance hadn't pushed this false story?Springfield facing threats from overseas after Trump’s lies about Haitians, Ohio governor’s office says
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Ohio stationed state police at Springfield schools Tuesday in response to a rash of bomb threats — the vast majority that officials said came from overseas —- after former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance falsely said legal Haitian immigrants in the small city were eating dogs and cats.
Schools, government buildings and elected officials’ homes in Springfield were among the targets of more than 30 hoax threats made last week that forced evacuations and closures. Two more schools had to be evacuated on Monday. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said that a foreign actor was largely responsible, but he declined to name the country.
“The vast majority of the bomb threats came from foreign countries. Not 100%, but it’s the vast majority,” Dan Tierney, DeWine’s spokesperson, said Tuesday.

So, some were "local" or US-based.Not 100%
If you actually believe this you are incredibly foolish.Throw enough spaghetti at the wall some will stick. But on the Macro scale of things this is small potatoes. Go to any trailer court in rural Iowa and it’s safe to say you could do a similar round up of drug gang members.
Actually Joe, I agree. Blast the **** out of the ones that came from inside the US. Ya wanna know what it's going to be, a bunch of copy cat kids that wanted a day off.So, some were "local" or US-based.
Resulting from a VP candidate who outright lied about the issues, and admitted doing it "because it helps highlight problems" with immigration that he and others intentionally scrapped solutions to, because Trump told them to.
I see you’ve doubled the number now. Why stop there? You should add 40000 more. Why not since you don’t live in reality?LOL - The town was thrown under the bus by whoever brought 40,000 Haitians there.
Going to throw the bullshit flag there. Meth rings are just as deadly. All black market drug turf is fought over. Metheads contribute to human trafficking, prostitution, gun violence, crime, etc at as high of rates as any criminal.If you actually believe this you are incredibly foolish.
An organized crime ring took over an area of America.
Billy Bob method cook, doesnt present anywhere near that risk.
Throw it all you want bro, they don't have anywhere near the organization or resources.Going to throw the bullshit flag there. Meth rings are just as deadly.

Good documentary on Tom Arnold’s sister on Netflix. The Queen of Meth.
It’s not dumb we just don’t take meth crimes seriously. Father in law had a home invasion. And got shot at. Because some guy needing a meth fix. The crimes are just as bad just happens in less populated areas. So it doesn’t get as much attention or involve as many people.Throw it all you want bro, they don't have anywhere near the organization or resources.
You made a dumb comment.
You are severally minimizing the organizational aspect.It’s not dumb we just don’t take meth crimes seriously. Father in law had a home invasion. And got shot at. Because some guy needing a meth fix.

Why can't there be 20k legal immigrants in Springfield? Why is that not ok?500 in Springfield by either is OK. 20k in Springfield by either guy is not OK. You guys are working really hard to spin this. Lol 😆
But, no responsibility for the perps who triggered them.
BAU.
You lost me at 'legal" you still pulling the bullshit narrative these are asylum seekers?Why can't there be 20k legal immigrants in Springfield? Why is that not ok?
Dude, I can’t remember the exact term - temporary protected something I think; but these Haitians in Springfield ARE there legally.You lost me at 'legal" you still pulling the bullshit narrative these are asylum seekers?
This is why they need to do it, eliminate the excuses of small dicks like you trying to link it back to Trump.
