Why Springfield Ohio?
24th September 2024
The population of Haiti is just under 12 million, and in the past few years around 300,000 of them have come to the United States. The population of Springfield, Ohio is around 58,000, and in the past few years, they have experienced a remarkably sudden and massive influx of new residents: 20,000 Haitians. So 7% of those who left Haiti for a better life in America moved to Springfield, Ohio.
Much has been written about this. Republicans are complaining that this could have a negative impact on the social structure and financial viability of Springfield. Democrats are rolling their eyes and saying that Haitians don’t eat cats. But I’m stuck on a question further upstream: How did Springfield, Ohio suddenly become such a popular destination for Haitians? Is it really possible that just spontaneously, for no reason, 20,000 Haitians woke up one morning and all said in unison, “You know, I’d love to move to Springfield, Ohio. Wherever that is.” Ok, so if we presume that all those individual Haitians didn’t decide on Springfield, then who did?
Because YOUR GOVERNMENT wants to make rural America as much of a Turd World shithole as the Democrat-ruled major metropolitan areas have become. Thank you, Joe Biden.
Who, exactly, did this?
Who paid for it?
And why? Why Springfield, Ohio?
I would love to know the answers to those three questions.
As would we all.
