When Your Little Ohio Town Becomes Port Au Prince and No One Cares

What the SAM HELL is happening in this country thanks to Biden-HARRIS and progressives?
From Venezuelan gangs setting up their own little fiefdoms in the Denver suburbs...
...It deals with Aurora, Colorado, a much smaller bedroom community to the east of Denver. There was never any significant debate over the migrants in Aurora. They didn't want them, but the migrants began arriving in significant numbers without an invitation. Unfortunately for Aurora's residents, a significant number of the "new arrivals" were not there for a free bed and a few meals . They turned out to be members of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, and they set up shop in Aurora and immediately got to "work." (NY Post)
Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place.
Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime....
...to now reports of the unimaginable.
Port Au Prince has come to Ohio. And not just arrive - it brought its "cultural differences" with it.
AKA Third World.

Springfield is one of those tiny, pretty much nameless, faceless towns dotting the (what's now I-70) industrial corridor that stretched from Pittsburgh through Columbus to Dayton and on to Indianapolis, whose fortunes have ebbed with the flight of industry and commerce from the area. By 2014, Springfield had suffered the largest median income decline of any area in the country, and even as Ohio began to pull itself out of its manufacturing malaise, Springfield did not follow along.
The local population dropped below 60,000 residents as the town struggled to survive.
Some industries returned to the area, and this is where the "immigration" story begins. It has the city frantically backpedaling on a well-meaning but ultimately powerless "welcoming city" resolution they passed ten years ago as they find themselves at the mercy of loosened regulations regarding Haitians coming across the southern border.
4. Status extended by Feds
Most Haitians are here legally, making their way from a violent and gang-ruled island homeland to Mexico.
Katie Kersh, senior attorney with Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, said many Haitians coming here go to Mexico and get a CBP One, a mobile app that allows users to request appointments related to immigration. That allows them to be legally processed into the U.S. through what’s called the parole program. They then typically obtain Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, which allows them to temporarily stay in the country. Others may apply for asylum, which is evaluated based on a person’s individual situation and if they were persecuted or have a fear of persecution, or for both TPS and asylum.
How does that impact a tiny town in Ohio? Well, it seems some of the new "business owners" in town were privy to the feds looking for homes for the "newcomers," and they needed cheap labor, so without further ado, they volunteered Springfield.
Only, they didn't tell anyone IN Springfield some new folks were coming.
Immigrants from Haiti have poured into Springfield the last five years, and the estimates grow monthly, with city officials now saying the number could be 15,000 to 20,000 new residents among a population that had numbered just under 60,000 prior.
The number of immigrants has strained city government, health care, schools, social services and nonprofits trying to provide assistance.
... Mayor Rob Rue told residents at the last commission meeting the city did not know about the possibility of a large immigrant population coming but said a “network of businesses knew what was coming.”
He said the city’s Immigrant Accountability Response Team that formed last fall has discovered the possibility companies “knew they were going to make an effort to bring in individuals who were crossing the border.”
Rue said he was upset the city did not get a chance to plan for the immigrants.
“Springfield is now saturated,” he said.
The mayor's "upset" - UPSET - that the city didn't get a chance to plan for a damn near a third of their population arriving in what's basically overnight circumstances for tens of thousands of arrivals and most not speaking the king's English. I believe the excuse is that the council is concerned about jeopardizing future litigation.
Suddenly, the town is awash in the most foreign of foreigners, who have no place to stay and little to no regard for the locals who were blindsided by their arrival.
A recent city council meeting was, to put it politely, lit af.

...“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard.”
“Look at me, I weigh 95 pounds. I couldn't defend myself if I had to. My husband is elderly.”
“I don't understand what you expect of us as citizens. I understand they're here under temporary protected status and you're protecting them, and I understand that our city services are overwhelmed and understaffed, but who's protecting us?”
“Who's protecting me? I want out of this town. I am sorry. Please give me a reason to stay.”
A resident told the members to take their suits down to the park and watch the Haitians decimate the ducks and geese there.
"Haitians are in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off, and eating them"

The Haitians have also been accused of doing that to neighborhood pets.
Of course, there have been "hate crimes" committed against these "immigrants," which have all the usual suspects up in arms and warning of "racist extremists." One perpetrator was sentenced to 20 years for orchestrating attacks, but if you check out more about the story, you'll understand why he didn't get much coverage as a white supremacist.
The "diversity is our strength" crowd has been doing double-time trying to convince residents it's all good.
So they pushed forward a Humanitarian Parole Program that allowed 30k migrants per month to come in from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.

While some of these migrants have criminal backgrounds, nearly all are dependent on taxpayer funded programs.
Furthermore they did not say if they would prosecute the sponsors who lied to bring over 100k migrants who had no right to come to the U.S.

One big scam the whole way around. No one ever pays for it but the Americans living in these small places.
They lose their hometowns.
Keep your cats indoors in Springfield....
... as maga xenophobes reach a new low in hyperbole. an altercation takes place at one door of an apartment, at one building in aurora colorado and it magically turns into venezuelan gangs taking over entire apartment complexes. maga morons that watch FOX are so fucking gullible.
Aurora police chief says there's no evidence that Venezuelan gang took over apartment
Evidently enough bullshit is going on
Good luck but, with the publicity it has garnered, only the Venezuelan government may have any interest.
The populist right wing has to one up the QAnon bullshit from the last election?
This is their version of debate prep.
Knee jerk response to any news that doesn't fit the left wing agenda noted.
The projection on your part to narrate scare tactics to fit the right wing agenda is also noted.
Lol..
The Perkins Coie law firm shared its findings on Aug. 9 with Aurora's top administrators.
"The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations," wrote T. Markus Funk, a former U.S. Attorney.
It would truly be amazing if someone thought this law firm was not a good source. Those folks ain't dumb.
Lol. Imagine that. Some residents in a gang infested apartment complex say there are no gangs there.
Ignore all the police reports and the outside report that documented:
Do you think, just maybe, the gang aligned residents of the complex would say there is no gang problem there and that some people who live there would be afraid to speak at a public rally?
The author was an ADA in Obama's DOJ. So he must be a right wing radical, I guess.
I'm very familiar with this neighborhood and the apartment complexes in it. the building pictured is 2 miles west of the address given. this time of year, in an election cycle, is when right wing racism, bigotry, and xenophobia is in full bloom for gullible maga morons.
It defies credibility to suggest the law firm made it all up in some report.
Why? I know more than a few shady lawyers. There a couple of rooms full in DC that would put any fucking thing in a report you want if you paid them.
you seem to suggest the report is fake.
do you have any evidence to support that or just a 'feeling'?
Always something to complain about and somebody 'around' to exploit, I guess. It never ends. . . .
Just look at the desperate and needy people. . . locate their weaknesses and exploit that! Don't bother emphasizing the good they are and are 'becoming.'
Our country is changing. It needs to change in order to survive and sustain itself 'fresh.' Change is not the enemy of the "Good!'
I bet its not the the American citizens complaining their quality of life you care about. Or the family of the little kid killed by an unlicensed illegal driver?
Change is not the enemy of the "Good!'
DO you believe change is always good?
Of course, change is NOT always good, bad, or indifferent to how we, collectively, feel about it happening to 'us.' But, constantly pointing out crimes as a form of exploitation and demonization of other people (unlike ourselves). . . desperate, needy, people is disturbingly UNCHRISTIAN and a specious argument. . . as commonsense instructs us that nobody wishes for criminals from around the world to come to America. It goes without stating it. Begs the question that one anecdotal case (after another) is pulled out to suggest that it is the norm for immigrants to be a violent class of "miscreants" and "misfits."
As a citizen of this country. . equal to every other citizen in this country. . .. Moreover, I respect the rights, privileges, and freedoms of every other citizen of this country. Immigration is the life-blood of our nation. . . it is our 'success story' to the world that our 'EXPERIMENT' in freedom works. We should not listen to or give any quarter to discourse from some isolationists among us whom exploit and demonize immigrants.
Then why claim without qualification it's not the enemy of the good. It frequently is.
. . as commonsense instructs us that nobody wishes for criminals from around the world to come to America
If that were true, why are Democrats opposed to taking common sense measures to stop them from entering and refusing to deport them when they commit crimes? You realize Democrats do everything in their power to ensure illegal aliens criminals remain in America to commit more crimes, right? That's the whole point of sanctuary cities.
I am writing about general immigration policy that affects good people coming from countries where violence, murders, and crime is destroying the fabric of those immigrants nations. . . as for the guilty who land on our shores. . . our courts can deal with them after the manner of the law. . . . As private citizens "we" do not get a singular say in how the practice of law carries itself out in real-time and how the decisions made state prosecutors and judges are determined. Consequently, we, the collective, do not make public policy. . . because we are not the authorities or experts empowered to analyze and determined what states and municipalities 'need.'
What does not work is generalizing immigrants as a class of 'undesirables' and then seeking to throw them all off in one large conversation on 'bad' immigration or to antagonize a political party over something the states are doing individually.
One last thing. . . which I am not going to waste my time on anyway. . . a collective in congress, the president, were prepared to sign legislation that affects this country's immigration policy brought forward by a conservative politician (Lanksford or Langford - check spelling) and it was not permitted to come for a vote because of raw politics related to Crooked Donald. And, yet trumpists are evidently silent on his actions, while demonizing immigrants for continuing to show up.
If internal violence is the main criteria, then these countries lead our Central American countries:
Debunked!
Thank god for the childless cat ladies sake.
Separately related, here is the GOP House/Senate/ President candidate Crooked Donald making a complete and utter fool out of himself:
Keep in mind, Crooked Donald did not have any animal as a pet during his four years at the White House. 'They' were so above it all, that poop simply would not be a thing Crooked Donald and his wife would be interested in keeping around.
This image is ignorant. . . a grown man (with dry hair by the way) in water with a suit, shirt and cuffs, and knotted tie . . . is just WEIRD !
This ignorant image was posted by House Judiciary GOP. . . just WEIRD !
To CLARIFY, Donald Trump IS running for President.
He is NOT a candidate for House/Senate.
Accuracy and truth matter.
The picture is conclusive. Donald Trump is a swamp creature that feeds on kittens and ducklings.
the things people are willing to believe these days is truly astounding.
After Donald's constant lying - why would anybody TRUST him to tell the truth? "X" is a 'shithole'!
Do you consider this claim to be the truth?
Consider the 'question' rhetorical.
DJT is never going to drain the swamp, he is will only continue to open the floodgates from the industrial sewage plants directly into the swamps. He has picked the absolute swampiest creature he could find to put on his ticket. Imagine calling someone out as America’s Hitler, and then accepting an invitation from that Hitler to try and run the most advanced, thriving, democratic country on earth. That picture of him lurking around in murky water pretending to protect innocent creatures suits him well.
why do you even attempt to argue something I have never claimed?
To hide this fact he usually goes cat hunting late at night in drag...
I forgot Michele Malkin existed and you had to go and remind me.
HA!
I have to agree. When I checked on this seeded source, I was 'abruptly' impacted (in the face) with Michelle Malkin, a conservative name and vitriolic face from the early years on cable news (channels I watched for a time). I am shocked that a woman of color would be paling around with white supremacists - go figure. But, apparently trumpist-conservatives will take anybody who is 'down' with the 'mission'! Sad. Pathetic. Unattractive politics.
No doubt...
Just another conservative woman for some liberals to gripe about.

He'd pee his pants.
Omg,.. Why are they all orange tabbies? What no diversity?..
I guess he's out to mow down Haitians with his big gun. Women and children too ?
