Former President Donald Trump has announced his upcoming visits to Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado, two cities grappling with significant issues due to the influx of illegal migrants. During a rally in Uniondale, New York, Trump said, “I’m going to go there in the next two weeks. I’m going to Springfield, and I’m going to Aurora,” as reported by Just The News.
Springfield, Ohio, has made national headlines for its surge of illegal immigrants from Haiti, with some reports even suggesting that migrants have resorted to hunting local pets and wildlife for food.
The small town, which once had minimal crime, has seen its population swell by 32,000 due to the migrant influx. Trump remarked, “This is a little beautiful town. No crime, no problem. Thirty-two thousand illegal immigrants come into the town… they almost double their population in a period of a few weeks.”
Springfield, overwhelmed by the influx, has been forced to find ways to accommodate illegal migrant children who do not speak English. Trump criticized the local response, especially the decision to hire teachers and interpreters for the migrants. “What the hell is wrong with our country?” he asked, expressing disbelief at the town’s approach.
The economic and civic chaos caused by this migrant surge, particularly in Springfield, underscores the detrimental impact on American workers and communities. Springfield has become a haven for over 20,000 Haitian migrants, many of whom were granted work permits and federal aid under Biden’s economic agenda. This massive influx has driven up housing costs, depressed wages, and pushed American workers to the sidelines.
Trump’s rhetoric has drawn criticism from left-wing voices like Paul Krugman and Adam Serwer, who argue that deporting migrants would harm the town’s economic revival. However, local residents have voiced frustration at being displaced by the government-backed influx.
