At a recent rally in Long Island, New York, former President Trump announced plans to visit Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio — as both towns have seen massive influxes in their migrant populations.
He said, “We're going to take care of Ohio, and we're going to take care of Colorado, and we're going to take care of every single state in the union. They're all under siege … So the mayor of Springfield, and I think he's a very nice person, but instead of saying, “We're getting them all out! We're getting them out!” He says very simply, “We're hiring teachers to teach them English.” Could you believe it? “We are hiring interpreter so when they go to school and take the place of our children in school, we have an interpreter.” … What the hell is wrong with our country?
No, no, we're getting them of our country. They came in illegally. They're destroying our country. We're getting them out. They're going to be brought back to the country from which they came. I will protect our country. I will protect our country.
The New York Post reports:
Up to 20,000 Haitians moved to Springfield because Biden's deputies wanted to grant them work permits and federal aid as part of their big-government, “Bidenomics” economic strategy. The decision to inflate the labor supply reduced wages and spiked housing costs, pushing ordinary Americans out of the free market for jobs and housing.
In an interview with a Springfield local, Tyler Oliveira asked, “What are your thoughts on the rapid influx of Haitian migrants that have moved in around the neighborhood?”
“Honestly, I'm not a fan of it.” she then pointed to an overflowing trash can. After complaining of how the streets seemed to be overflowing with trash in front of homes occupied by Haitians, she then spoke about how housing was becoming less affordable for people like her, and how the government was facilitating it.”
“They get assisted living freely. It makes it harder for people like me or somebody else who doesn't get assisted living to find affordable housing at a decent rate.”
“Are they driving the housing costs up around here?”
The woman scoffed, “Uh, yeah.”
“How are the Haitians making enough money to outprice everyone that lived here before them?”
“Well, you get assisted living, you get food stamps, you get government help with vehicles and everything else while everybody else has to work for that before you even come in…That's all government aid. You can honestly go to the food stamp office…if you're there at the time they open there's already a line that's all the way back outside of the building just to go in, and they're all full of Haitians. There's a small line for people that speak English, and you'll see maybe ten people.”
