Vivek Ramaswamy on why he hosted Springfield town hall: I won't 'turn my back' on a place so close to home
Fox News Digital spoke with former Republican presidential candidate and Ohio native Vivek Ramaswamy ahead of the town hall in Springfield, a city impacted by an influx of migrants.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke with Fox News Digital about why he decided to host a town hall in Springfield, Ohio, which had been at the center of a political firestorm.
"I wanted to hear 360 degrees, all perspectives," Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital ahead of the town hall on Thursday. "I don't blame the people who live here. I blame the federal policies that created the conditions that are causing people in this community to suffer."
Springfield, a city of roughly 60,000 residents, had been hit with an influx of 20,000 Haitian migrants as a result of the Biden-Harris administration granting them legal status through a parole program, leading to strained resources for the education and health care system as well as social services.
I think it is great that the people of Springfield has someone out there in the state of Ohio who seems to give a damn about their plight, because local and state and federal politicians certainly don't.
No, they just call them all "racists" for any complaints regarding this sudden influx of immigrants.
Like the small town of Palestine that saw toxic loads of chemicals infest an entire town, no one seems to care about them.
Voters are truly without representation in the US.
Sad.
