While Donald Trump made baseless, dangerous claims that immigrants in Ohio were eating people's pets in front of millions of viewers at Tuesday night's presidential debate, Johnson Salomon, a Haitian man who moved to Springfield in 2020, was watching cartoons with his kids before putting them to bed.
"They came to us for one reason: they were looking for ways to find out how to work," Casey Rollins, executive director of the St Vincent de Paul Society's Springfield chapter, said of those who came to the Ohio city from Haiti. "So we got together immigration lawyers and interpreters to figure out how to help them work. We are getting them online and getting them to apply [for work permits]. We wanted workers here [in Springfield] - they want to work."
