DeWine says he doesn't oppose Biden shipping in masses of illegal aliens. He just wants Biden to send him more money for the privilege.
The governor of Ohio will send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants that has landed it in the national spotlight.
Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday he doesn't oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020, but said the federal government must do more to help impacted communities.
His news conference was held just hours before the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump, where the divide over immigration policy was sure to be an issue.
On Monday, Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also drew attention to the crisis when he directed his office to research legal avenues -- including filing a lawsuit -- to stop the federal government from sending "an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities."
Thousands of temporary Haitian migrants have landed in the city in recent years, as longstanding unrest in their home country has given way to violent gangs ruling the streets.
And now the violent gangs rule our streets. Problem solved!
"These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen," he said, noting additional influxes are occurring in Findlay and Lima, Ohio. "Moms who have to wait hours in a waiting room with a sick child, everyone who drives on the streets, and it affects children who go to school in more crowded classrooms."
David Strom argues that it's time for Trump to go to Springfield.
To put the problem of the residents into perspective, Mayor Adams has said that New York City is being destroyed by the influx of about 100,000 migrants, which amounts to one for every 830 New Yorkers.
Springfield is dealing with an influx of one Haitian for every three residents. Think of that. One out of every four residents of the city is a Haitian migrant imported over the past four years. These people don't speak the language, get government subsidies, are taking housing from local residents, and have been driving down wages. There are also undisputed reports of Haitians decapitating geese in the park and disputed reports of pets disappearing and perhaps being eaten.
As much as we love our pets, whether they are being eaten is the smallest of these problems, but the only one the MSM cares about. If the reports are "debunked" (none of these MSM folks has bothered to visit and investigate, claiming a single phone call to a city manager is sufficient to remove all doubt), so what? The matter isn't closed because the issue is not cats and dogs, but the suffering of the residents of Springfield, who are feeling beset by the takeover of their city.
Trump going to Springfield is the only way to get the "national press" to visit.

The Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan criminal gang, is expanding its reach across the U.S., a new report Thursday warns. Known for its brutal tactics across Latin America, the gang has now infiltrated cities like Aurora, Colorado, where local communities have been seen terrorized in now-viral videos, raising alarm among law enforcement agencies.

The Tren de Aragua gang, which originated in a Venezuelan prison and rapidly evolved into a transnational criminal organization, is now emerging as a serious threat in the United States. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, U.S. law enforcement is investigating over 100 criminal cases tied to the gang across various states. What began as a localized issue in Latin America, where Tren de Aragua engaged in drug trafficking, extortion, and violent crimes, has now spread into American cities like Miami, New York, and Texas.
Here's a good point:
A more important point:
JD Vance made the point that it takes talking about cats and ducks to bring attention to the plight of the human beings Biden is sacrificing because they vote against him.
But let's also not forget the poor dogs:
