Speaking of testimony that should be listened to: Apparently the father of that sadly deceased child from the bus accident doesn’t approve of being used like this to demonize Haitian immigrants. We know Trump has used some prior families in similar situations as props before. It’s pretty gross, but if the families approve the message and don’t mind being used in politics as part of hate messaging that’s pretty much on them and their own conscience. Using dead children against the family’s wishes is entering Alex Jones territory.
Little Springfield is another example of the Biden opening the borders to so many illegals that now no one knows what to do with them. Big cities like NY and Chicago have been fed up by the influx for months and now sleepy little Springfield has had enough also. Residents are complaining and just before the debate last night, the Ohio governor said he was sending additional law enforcement and another $2.5M to the town and at the same time was crying that the federal government, who has already given millions to the area, should be doing more. Yeah, Joe and Kamala really had a solid plan with this whole immigration thing.
The problem is not all residents are complaining at those city council meetings, several business owners have hired the Haitians and praised their work ethic. You think like 100% of the town is against them? What if it’s more of a 50/50 thing? What if only a tiny # of residents have any type of serious negative encounters or ongoing problem (such as the woman saying some of them leave trash on her lawn and mess with her). An outlet like Daily Caller is obviously going to focus on the negative to hype up the anti-immigrant position, and that’s assuming they aren’t just straight up making shit up or using paid operatives to lie. Remember this “witness” on the 2020 election?
Quite a bit of hypocrisy here. Biden was ready to sign a border security bill led by conservative Lankford and Trump undermined it to help himself politically and hurt the country. As for infrastructure, Biden's infrastructure bill is helping communities across the country to rebuild - with Republicans touting it at home while none of them voted for fear of MAGA retaliation - and for which Trump talked about infrastructure for 4 years and did nothing. Trump's MO, complain and talk a lot and do nothing constructive.
Trump can blatantly push lies like "Haitian immigrants are eating your pets!" and deep down inside his supporters know he's full of shit, but on the outside they have to keep up the facade of being fierce MAGA loyalists so they work tirelessly to find potential outs for him. It's simultaneously fascinating, hilarious and pathetic to watch lol
This issue has been a CATastrophe for MAGA nation. It put their gullibility on full display for the nation to see, yet they persist, even on this board, like PETulant children.
How this story ends: "If you don't like dogs and cats being eaten by Haitians you're a white supremacist."
There is no credible reporting saying that's happening. Yost graduated from one of the very worst law schools in the nation (Capital University Law School, ranked 178-196 out of 196 ranked law schools.) and he went from "Mr. Trump is not merely flawed — his thirst for power at any cost makes him unfit for public trust. What would he not do with public power?'" to full MAGA. Obviously there is something wrong with him. I find the local sources to be FAR more credible. Republican Ohio Auditor Dave Yost says he'll 'break ranks' if Donald Trump is GOP nomineeRepublican Ohio Auditor Dave Yost says he'll 'break ranks' if Donald Trump is GOP nominee (FYI: UF's law school, Levin College of Law at University of Florida...perhaps you've driven past it or at least seen photos...is ranked #28.)
a. What actions did Biden take to "open" the border? b. How does "opening the borders to illegals" result in a concentration of LEGAL immigrants in Springfield? c. Should the Federal Government determine where legal immigrants locate? If so, under what authority? Do you think before you post?
You sound soooo scared of the straw boogeyman. That is so weird. Are all people of Haitian descent savages? Or just the immigrants? Or just the illegal immigrants? Or just the imaginary pet eaters? Please be specific about your target.
The Haitians living in Springfield, Ohio aren't illegals. They are legal with Temporary Protected Status. Your post is a prime example of Trump's appeal to low information willfully ignorant voters. By the way the Republican governor of Ohio supports the program that brought the Haitians to Springfield. DeWine shows support for program that brought Haitian immigrants to Ohio - Washington Examiner
Yawn. It is painful to watch y'all scrounge for any face-saving anecdotes. Y'all took the bait, again. It is not the first time and surely won't be the last. Accept it and move on. It is getting boring.
