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.
What was the real news with Hillary again? That she was correct?
used to hide ties between the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist and traitor and pedophile and good good friend of Epstein who was on the flight logs of pedophile Epstein many, many, many, many times.
She was correct about the deplorables and all roads to Russia leading to the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist.
She forget to mention that they are mostly incels as well.
That's why they hate Hillary. Because she was correct about everything.
Hillary and other Democrats lied through their teeth and still are.
Gullible idiots bought into the whole Steele Dossier even though the rest of us recognize a hatchet job when we see one.
Yes, Clinton was. I think you may be a bit confused. The pizza story was to take away from Hubster's shenanigans.
Damn, she forgot one crackpot conspiracy theory.
This must be some of that there fake news, as the leftists here have apparently 'debunked' facts now.
Why are they doing this? To stop the immigrants from eating people's pets??????????????????????
The article tells you if you read it.
Where is the proof that 'violent gangs are running the streets'???? And taking over apartment buildings??????
It appears you have confused two different stories involving two different sets of immigrants and in two different states.
THIS story is in Ohio, the one you are apparently referencing on THIS article is one in Colorado involving Venezuelans.
???????????????
Angry, triggered leftists are easily confused.
I find it disrespectful to comment without reading the articles.
Not really surprising that it's the same people doing it time and again.
Yep and getting away with it. Fair and balanced moderation don’t ya know …
Kind of like we saw last night - one sided.
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.
No one ever tells us why it is that the American taxpayer is expected to support immigrants.
To get your way you will have to end the US policy on accepting asylum applicants. The US has a policy in which asylum applicants are reviewed officially in a court of law.
Whether that is "fair" or not to the taxpayers needs to be determined for the future but it is the law now.
I haven't said what my way is, so what have you imagined it is is all you have there.
And surely you recognize that asylum and paying for immigrants are two separate, distinct issues. Unless you can point out to me and everyone else where it says if you are an asylum seeker, we will pay to house, clothe, feed, and take care of your medical needs in the law, you have nothing.
Doesn't look like we are on the hook legally to pay for immigrants.
Why would any taxpayer think it a good idea to take care of new arrivals while we have so many people needing help already?
I wonder if we will ever get a true accounting of how much immigrants are costing us.
The amount has to be staggering, and sure, we'll just borrow more money as our deficit rises.
Even with Biden's perfect economy, deficits are on the rise and will likely hit as high as $2 trillion this fiscal year.
Its an insane amount. The entire twelve years of the Apollo program, held up for for decades as an example of extravagant spending cost 257 billion in today's dollars. A single year of caring for illegals costs at least 150 billion. The border wall would have cost 21 billion over 10 years...
No one ever says WHY we have to pay for immigrants.
Shouldn't immigrants be fully self-supporting so as to be a boon for our society, not a drag on it?
Even Kamala has stated she'd build a wall.
Well, that is what she says now.
It probably will change any day now.
