The problems with the massive immigrant influx in Springfield has been an issue for a long time. Here is a clip from the City Council Meeting in August 2023 from X. I have also posted the whole meeting from the Springfield Ohio City Council Website, but that's probably a garbage site too. https://x.com/MTGrepp/status/1836847106276852044 City Commission Meeting, Aug. 29, 2023 (youtube.com)
How would you feel if someone tried to hurt your daughter with a machete? NEW: Springfield, Ohio, mother tells Vivek Ramaswamy that an immigrant with a machete chased her daughter, and the police didn't respond to her call. "If your first act of entering the country breaks the law, then you are more likely to break the law when you are already here." "In this town alone, there are double the number of shoplifting crimes in the last two years. Auto thefts are up by 50% in that same time frame." "We have to restore that culture of the rule of law. When people see the top law enforcement agencies not following the law, they rightly ask the question, well, why the heck should I have to follow the law?" https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1836919330489131172
And now this important message from the Governor of Ohio: As a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield. This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there. . . . The Springfield I know is not the one you hear about in social media rumors. It is a city made up of good, decent, welcoming people. They are hard workers—both those who were born in this country and those who settled here because, back in their birthplace, Haiti, innocent people can be killed just for cheering on the wrong team in a soccer match. . . . I am proud of this community, and America should be, too. You guys give a whole new meaning too the phrase: "Ignorance is bliss."
