Springfield Residents Plead for Help as 20,000 Migrants Overwhelm City, Threaten Wildlife

Residents of Springfield, Ohio, are pleading for help as the small city, with a population of 60,000, struggles to accommodate an influx of 20,000 Haitian migrants. Local authorities report a severe housing crisis, while residents face increasing frustration, citing issues like wildlife being hunted in public parks and concerns over personal safety. One woman described how her yard is frequently littered, and she and her elderly husband are harassed. The city's request for federal assistance reflects a broader strain on resources, exacerbated by the Biden administration’s lenient immigration policies. Tensions escalated last year following a fatal accident involving a Haitian migrant. As the crisis deepens, Springfield residents are calling for stricter immigration control and greater support from state and federal leaders to restore order in their community.
