Trump's Racist Pet Killing Lie Based on Fourth-Hand Story

The social media user who posted what appears to be one of the first claims of Haitian migrants kidnapping and eating family pets in Springfield, Ohio was simply repeating a story she had heard from a neighbor"who'd heard it themselves from a friend, who'd heard it from someone else, according to a new report.

Not that it will make a whit of difference to MAGAts.

They'll probably cake on blackface, fake a Jamaican accent and murder neighborhood cats rather than allow DonOld to be proven wrong.

The more the left makes an issue of Trump's claims, the more likely voters will do their own research. It doesn't matter if pets are being eaten or not, the stress on communities is real. Joe and Kamala's open border policy is destroying the fabric of many communities.

"I'm running to be president of all Americans, that's everybody, and whether you vote for me or don't vote for me, I really want to be your greatest champion and I will be your champion," Harris told a small group of Haitian-Americans in Miami.

Yes we will continue to highlight (and make fun of) Trumpy's ridiculous lies and stories that he and Shady JD "create". (make up). As long as you maga maroons and he continue to "create"/ make them up.

There is obviously no point trying to talk about trumps policies because he still only has a "concept" of what they might be.

Many Haitians have filled labor shortages and contributed to the local economy. Employers report that Haitian workers are hardworking and have helped revitalize some sectors.

Legal immigrants working hard and filling occupations in a region that was suffering from a labor shortage. Sounds like a feel good, all-American story to me!

Keep that spotlight on Springfield!

No, they aren't.

The Haitian refugees have jobs. The medical center and schools are not overwhelmed.

#39 Originally they were welcomed and they came in small numbers in a controlled manner. It caused some problems but was manageable. Then Biden/Harris open borders happened and an uncontrolled flood occurred. If you'd move past the cat story and look into it, you could learn something.

The Haitian refugees have jobs. The medical center and schools are not overwhelmed.

The biggest whopper: increasing housing costs? You think these low paid refugees are buying up all the homes?

The first sentence is indeed true, from all reporting not only do the Haitian adults have jobs, their employers say they're the hardest workers.

However, in regards to the other things mentioned, Springfield is having issues. Because new legal immigrants don't come here with any personal resources to speak of, they're very dependent upon our social safety net, including Medicaid. Springfield's existent providers are stressed and overwhelmed by the influx of the immigrants, but this is the fault of both the state and federal government to have not anticipated and reacted to the increased demand for services, including administrative services.

And yes, housing costs have skyrocketed in Springfield. The term housing costs isn't exclusive to home ownership, it simply refers to how much families pay for their domiciles be they leased, rented, or owned. And Springfield lacks sufficient rental units which has cause landlords to use dynamic pricing algorithms which have greatly increased the cost of rental property across the board for everyone and this in turn has caused housing property prices to rise as well.

But that is due to Americans believing in free markets without price controls. Those who own rental property are experiencing windfalls due to the increased demand without any rise in supply to lessen their ability to charge more. Again, it's up to the state and federal government to either fund apartment units or provide incentives for private individuals to build new units. The Haitians are not to blame because our capitalist system is being used to the detriment of those seeking housing in Springfield.

It's kinda funny/sad that someone who pretends concern about corporate profits supports a criminal traitor candidate, an infamous liar who only speaks the truth when telling billionaires they'll get more tax cuts and oil companies that they can have whatever they want if they give him a billion dollars.

Which is estimated to cost taxpayers at least a billion dollars a year for the next 10 years.
