    Well, if there’s one person qualified to answer questions on killing dogs, it’s her.

    White woman kills a dog: You just don't understand rural culture! We sometimes kill dogs. Stop lecturing us, you city dwelling elites.
    Black guy moves to town: You monsters are going to kill all our dogs!

    So pointing out the strain on city and county services, as well as the strain on healthcare and education, due to the rapid influx of migrants over a very short period of time, is somehow “out there?” Asking you what law school ranking has to do with this topic, is also somehow “out there?”

    I am glad UF law school is rated as high as it is. Yale law school is ranked #2. Does that mean JD Vance received much better legal education than you did? The Yale acceptance rate is 9.7%. Does that mean Vance was a much more gifted student than you were?

    You gotta be careful playing these silly games. And by the way, you never answered what law school ranking has to do with this thread.

    This was totally happening prior to the Haitians getting there. Ignore the attached fake pictures of the man taking ‘Home’ a goose to eat and a video of a Haitian woman getting arrested after getting caught eating a cat.

    oh and in before the ‘how do you know they are Haitian’ deflection.

    The goose photo was shot in Columbus, not Springfield. And there's no information about who the guy is or where he got the goose.
    The woman who killed and ate the cat was in Canton, not Springfield. Her police record there goes back years and Police said there's no indication she has a connection to any other countries.
    But other than that, you nailed it.

    It is a strain, just like any boom town situation. Important to note though is that Springfield received a BILLION dollars in tax revenue last year for the first time. A shrinking town is becoming prosperous again and there are growing pains with that. Would some folks be so up in arms if these new residents were white?
    City hits $1 billion in tax values, works on 2024 budget

    Edit: I should have written valuation, not revenue.

    You have to remember back to the early 90's when one of Bill Clinton's major platforms was to rid the country of gay Wiscon-sinners who were cannibalizing the rest of the people, and this doesn't seem so strange.

    WAIT, that never happened! Somehow, politicians back then had just enough brains to realize when something was an isolated (or in this case, imaginary) incident, and when it was a serious issue that needed federal government action. Huh.

    My Grandmother used to brag about how good of a rabbit hunter my Grandfather was during the depression. He looks at me and whispers, it was easy, they come around at night, meow, and you pop em.
    Was he serious or was the hasenpfeffer approved by Alf?

    At the end of the day the right wing leaders never miss an opportunity to take a marginalized group in America and make them the hated boogie man for the stupid.

    I can see the right wing Christian parishioners getting all ginned up this weekend with hate for Haitian refugees who are exactly the folks Jesus would walk among. I have no sympathy for their chances if a God is waiting for them in the end.

    Using propaganda to marginalize an ethnic group to blame all the country's ills upon. Goebbels would be proud!

    We're now at day 4 of this being a front page story and in the zeitgeist. MAGA is still scrambling to show this is true, further keeping the weirdness in the public spotlight. They really have no clue how this looks to normal humans. Carry on Maga !!

    In the ultimate of all ironies, your post actually proves it was totally happening before the Haitians got there. And don't you mean "in before somebody shows you that this has nothing to do with Haitians in Springfield, Ohio?"

    The woman who was caught eating the cat wasn't Haitian and the incident occurred in Canton, Ohio over 170 miles from Springfield and the guy taking home the goose was photographed in Columbus and he wasn't Haitian either.

    Recently, Springfield, Ohio, which is over 170 miles from Canton, has been at the center of the immigration debate. It is worth noting that this incident in Canton is completely unrelated to the false claims being made in Springfield. Following the debate, the Associated Press also reported that Ferrell is not Haitian. She was born in Ohio and graduated from Canton McKinley High School in 2015.
