12,000 to 15,000 Haitians went there between 2020 and now.... A 4 year period. They were not all dumped there at once?
They were INVITED there by an open letter in the papers, from the city Council, inviting immigrants to come and fill all their job openings and work in a Springfield factory is what was reported.
I believe the Haitians are on some kind of Protection Visa.....which is only a temp visa, allowing them to live and work here while Haiti is going through this dangerous time and crisis, and then the USA orders them home once the Haitian crisis is calmer or over and it is safer for them to return home.
They are never on a visa that offers citizenship.
Governor DeWine is sending more money and troopers to help teach them how to drive, and straighten up the traffic havoc, there has been money to fund larger class rooms, and more hospital/clinics and workers to ease the medical delays and more interpreters and stuff like that....
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.
