Haitian Immigrants Helped Revive a Struggling Ohio Town -- Then neo-Nazis Turned Up

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."

Comments

Donald Trump has promised to arrest and deport these 10,000 Haitians despite their legal status and despite their essential role in Springfield.

There will no doubt be an interim period where they are imprisoned in camps, where many will mysteriously die or be raped.

He hasn't actually used the term "resettlement" yet.

Nor has Trump actually used the term "ethnic cleansing".

If a random Facebook mom in Ohio was able to start a rumor that quickly became a right-wing conspiracy theory, imagine what an ex-KGB agent with unlimited resources can do.

First off you don't "revive" an American town by allowing traitorous hate filled American Democrats to bring in 100K uncivilized Voodoo culture worshiping low lifes that have never ever made their own nation successful or respectable at anything. Haiti has always been full of embedded corruption. Like Papa Doc or Davaliers. To come to America one needs to have the ability and a history of success. It is their own peoples fault. These people need their own society where they must learn to become civilized on their own and not by handouts. Democrats will destroy any culture because they thrive as an instigator of making poor societies that tend to accomplish nothing. Democrats do not want thriving societies. They prefer witchcraft.

I wonder if he's seeding the ground for what he hopes will end up as a local civil war.

Look under your bed, ROBSON. They know every time that you pleasure yourself.

We need and should want people in our country that most importantly have a culture of mutual respect for others. The left respects nothing except the ability of their highly devious schmuck leaders to simply steal our freedoms and take away our own mutual respect. Democrats version 2024 have become a problem and incompatible with any self respecting society.

Oh and BTW if Trump was going to destroy America, he would have done it in his first term. If Kamala Harris was going to help America, she would have done it in her first term.

Personally I just prefer the witches.

A good witch is hard to find.

You mean the "great economy" that Trumpy left us?

The one that was shut down because of a pandemic he let rage out of control? The one where 8-9 million people lost their jobs ? It was a horrible economy he left us.

But hey. Gas was cheap. Because demand around the world had dropped off a cliff.

If Kamala Harris was going to help America, she would have done it in her first term.

Her first term as VP? As far as I can tell she did what she could to help Americans. Breaking tie votes in the senate. As VP.
