Singer John Legend has faced backlash after urging residents of Springfield, Ohio to embrace the influx of nearly 20,000 Haitians who have moved into their town. Legend's video message, which emphasizes love and acceptance, comes amidst local concerns about the impact of the Haitian migration on resources and safety.
Pop star John Legend is facing mounting public backlash after he lectured Springfield , Ohio , residents on the need to accept the invasion of Haitians who have overwhelmed the working-class town.
“I think all of us need to have the same kind of grace that we would want our ancestors” with “our Haitian brothers and sisters,” he said. “Maybe they should drop 15,000 immigrants into your neighborhood you live in now and you could experience the hardship yourself,” yet another wrote. In his Instagram post, John Legend made no reference to the horror stories Springfield residents have been forced to endure thanks to the Biden-Harris administration’s policies favoring illegal aliens.
