Gov. Mike DeWine urges federal government to help communities marred by the surge of illegal Haitian migrants coming to Springfield, Ohio.
Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced he'll be funneling resources to help ease the influx of some 20,000 Haitian migrants that have arrived in the city of Springfield legally under the Biden-Harris administration in the last several years.
The Haitians arrived under a Biden-Harris administration program that helps certain migrants flee their violent, unstable countries. Despite the problems the program has brought to the community, causing local residents to speak out against it, DeWine supports it. 'I want to be very clear, totally very clear, I’m not against this program,' DeWine – whose family runs a charity in Haiti – said. 'I’m not against this program.
The immigrants have also drawn the ire of local residents, who have been urging city officials to take action. 'I see what's going on in the streets. And I see you guys sitting up there and, comfy chairs and suits… I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,' said Anthony Harris, 28, during a recent city council meeting. 'These Haitians are running into trash cans. They're running into buildings.
