Ohio’s Attorney General Responds To Haitian Migrants Overwhelming Town

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced this week that he has directed officials to begin reviewing ways to stop the Biden-Harris administration from sending large numbers of migrants to communities in the state amid backlash that is brewing over tens of thousands of Haitian illegal aliens who have been brought to a small town in the state.

The move comes in response to Springfield, a town of less than 60,000 residents, being flooded with approximately 20,000 Haitian illegal aliens over the last few years, leading to a variety of problems and rapid deterioration of the town.

“This is absurd – Springfield has swollen by more than a third due to migrants,” Yost said. “How many people can they be expected to take? What are the limits to the federal government’s power? Could the federal government simply funnel into Ohio all the millions of migrants flooding in under the current administration’s watch?”

“There’s got to be a limiting principle,” he added. “We’re going to find a way to get this disaster in front of a federal judge.”

The explosion in illegal aliens coming to the town has devastated the abilities of the public and private entities in the town to provide for the U.S. citizens who live there, Yost’s office said.

“The problem is not migrants, it is way, way too many migrants in a short period of time,” Yost said. “The problem is a massive increase in the population without any communication or assistance from the federal government.”

His office noted that local residents have complained about the illegal aliens “causing car crashes, stealing property – including livestock, squatting in homes and killing wildlife for food.”

He said that the Biden-Harris administration’s wide-open border policies were devastating the state and quickly ruining the quality of life for the people who live there.

“Ohio is a great place to work and live,” Yost said. “But overwhelming our small towns with massive migrant populations without any coordination or assistance from the federal government is changing that in front of our eyes.”

At a recent city council meeting, numerous local residents have complained that the Haitians are ruining the town and that people are beginning to fear for their safety because of how dangerous they are.

“These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings,” one resident said. “They’re flipping cars in the middle of the street, and I don’t know how, like, y’all can be comfortable with this.”

Other residents said the illegal aliens are setting up camp grounds, screaming at residents, and throwing trash on their property.

“It is so unsafe,” one resident said. “Look at me, I weigh 95 pounds. I couldn’t defend myself if I had to ‘pack up and move.’”

“It’s killing both of us mentally,” she continued. “I don’t understand what you expect of us as citizens. … Who’s protecting me? I want out of this town. I am sorry. Please give me a reason to stay.”
