Ohio is sending troopers and $2.5 million to a city that has seen an influx of Haitian migrants

Yes, the Biden administration really is using Ohio as a dumping ground for these 'migrants'. And Governor Mike DeWine is okay with that as long other people pay for his charity.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — 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.
Ohio has already provided additional resources to Springfield to help with education and training for drivers, to pay for more vaccines and health screenings in schools, and to enhance translation services, explained DeWine. But he’s taking additional action.
“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.”
On Wednesday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be dispatched to help local law enforcement with traffic issues that officials say have cropped up due to an increase in Haitians unfamiliar with U.S. traffic laws using the roads. DeWine said he is also earmarking $2.5 million over two years to provide more primary healthcare through the county health department and private healthcare institutions.
DeWine’s family operates a charity in Haiti in honor of their late daughter, Becky, who died in a car accident. He said the Haitians who have moved to Ohio are generally hard-working people who love their families and who are seeking to escape the violence in their home country for good jobs in Ohio.

Same old, stale old, reliable dishonesty pushed by the unbiased liberal press. All the weird stories, conspiracy theories, and wacky tropes become the lede to hide the awful truth. No, the unbiased liberal press isn't lying exactly. But the press ain't telling the truth, either.
Put that in your debate and smoke it.
So instead of informing the American public about what happened to a community overwhelmed by a resettlement of instantly legal Haitians, the media created a debate about "eating pets," which is a trap for the uninformed.
Salacious sensationalism is intended to bring the uninformed into the discussion so the awful truth is easier to ignore. In modern lingo the clickbait stories overshadow the real news.
That's how the Pizza Hut pedophilia clickbait story was used to hide ties between Clinton and Epstein. The real news was pretty awful but the clickbait completely wiped it off the slate.
Yes, Clinton was. I think you may be a bit confused. The pizza story was to take away from Hubster's shenanigans.
A 30% spike in population in a few years will disrupt and overwhelm any city, particularly a small one with limited services. The legal residents are the ones who suffer.
