Some have claimed the Haitians are stealing people&rsquo;s cats and dogs and slaughtering them to eat. Others have said they&rsquo;re&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1832793644883214832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grabbing ducks and geese from the local park and decapitating them<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media were quick to publish stories on Monday &ldquo;debunking&rdquo; these claims, citing local police and municipal officials who say there have been no reports of missing pets or decapitated ducks in the park. Never mind that those officials have no way of knowing whether this is really happening, the point of such stories was to shame the people who dare to notice the problems that arise when you inundate a community with foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>And of course it&rsquo;s not just the slaughtering of animals that&rsquo;s a problem in Springfield. The local community health clinic, for example, has been overwhelmed with Haitian patients in recent years, with a 13-fold increase from 2021 to 2023, from 115 to 1,500&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/03\/us\/springfield-ohio-school-bus-crash-haiti-immigrants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to the New York Times<\/a>.

Because of the rapid population increase in Springfield, housing costs have skyrocketed, with many local residents priced out because of newly-arrived Haitians willing to pay more in rent.<\/p>\n<p>And then last year, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldnewssun.com\/news\/parents-of-child-killed-in-bus-crash-dont-want-son-associated-with-hate-at-city-meetings\/54CNPTO6JFESHJB5CUK4M4NW64\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Haitian migrant<\/a> allegedly killed an 11-year-old Springfield boy and injured 23 other children when he crashed his car into a school bus. After that, residents began speaking out more about the Haitian immigrant problem in Springfield.<\/p>\n<p>Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has brought up Springfield more than once in recent months, pointing to it as an example of how the Biden-Harris administration&rsquo;s immigration policies have hurt American towns and communities, overwhelming them with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-rep-andy-biggs-challenges-gov-ducey-to-follow-texas-to-bus-illegal-immigrants-to-u-s-capitol-time-they-see-reality\/\" title=\"Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs Challenges Gov. Ducey To Follow Texas To Bus Illegal Immigrants To U.S. Capitol: \u2018Time They See Reality\u2019\">illegal immigrants caught crossing<\/a> the border and then released into the interior of the country. The mayor and city manager of Springfield&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1833204915176632320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">went on Fox News a few months ago<\/a>&nbsp;and said the same, that the Haitian migrant influx is crippling and overwhelming the city.<\/p>\n<p>The cat and duck memes sprang up after&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/charliekirk11\/status\/1832883283199471676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charlie Kirk posted on X<\/a>&nbsp;about Springfield residents reporting that Haitians have been stealing and butchering cats and dogs, as well as ducks and geese from a local municipal park, which is at least plausible since it&rsquo;s a common practice in Haiti, where a majority of the population practices the vodou religion that involves, among other things, animal sacrifice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether there&rsquo;s any truth behind the cats and ducks memes, the reality is that Springfield is being destroyed by mass immigration. Residents have taken to social media to complain about all kinds of bizarre incidents, from unlicensed and uninsured Haitian drivers demanding payment after causing traffic accidents, to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/captivedreamer7\/status\/1832099119411978694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grown men taking naked sink baths in women&rsquo;s restrooms at a grocery store<\/a>, to homeless Haitian migrants camping out on people&rsquo;s lawns.<\/p>\n<p>These are real problems, not racist memes. But why are so many Haitians here in the U.S. to begin with? Because the Biden-Harris administration let them in. Many Haitians were let in through a policy that allowed those arrested after crossing the border illegally to be paroled into the country. &ldquo;Paroled into the country&rdquo; is just a jargon-y way of saying they were released from federal custody on their own recognizance, free to go wherever they want in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/captivedreamer7\/status\/1833152670808388083\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as Harris herself has bragged<\/a>, some 300,000 Haitians were granted Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, by the Biden-Harris administration. TPS is a giant scam of a federal program that allows huge numbers of foreigners to remain in the U.S. indefinitely. Under the Biden-Harris administration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2024\/03\/29\/how-temporary-protected-status-has-expanded-under-the-biden-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it has expanded dramatically<\/a>. Created in 1990 to help refugees fleeing El Salvador&rsquo;s civil war, TPS was supposed to be, as its name implies, temporary. But that&rsquo;s not how it has worked out. In 1991, Liberians were granted TPS because of a civil war. Nicaraguans and Hondurans were added to the TPS ranks after Hurricane Mitch in 1999. And of course Haitians were given TPS in 2011 for the earthquake that hit Haiti the year before. Most of these people have never left the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, TPS is temporary in name only. Under successive administrations, both Republican and Democrat, it has become a permanent entitlement. During his term in office, Trump tried to end TPS for various groups, like the 200,000 Salvadorans who&rsquo;d been granted TPS status for an earthquake that happened in 2001. But Trump&rsquo;s efforts were delayed, first by bureaucrats within his own Department of Homeland Security and then by activists and the courts until Biden came into office and restored it. That means the 300,000 Haitians that Biden-Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/temporary-protected-status-tps-haiti-haitians-biden-e92b8de782d2c1218dd1be1899aa926d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gave TPS status<\/a> to are here to stay barring the total dissolution of TPS under a future Trump administration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, communities like Springfield will be transformed by the mass influx of foreigners and foreign customs, many of which are hostile to and incompatible with our American way of life. It&rsquo;s not racist or xenophobic to admit that, it&rsquo;s simply the truth. People from other cultures and different parts of the world live differently than we do. It should not be too much to ask that if they come here, to the United States, that they adopt our culture and way of life. That they refrain, let&rsquo;s say, from taking ducks and geese from our municipal parks and decapitating them for vodou rituals.<\/p>\n<p>But to do that, to insist upon it, requires a culture confidence and a desire to preserve the nation that our managerial leadership class simply does not possess. What&rsquo;s more, our leaders actively seek out the dissolution of the nation, the American people as such, so that they might rule over a heterogeneous mass of atomized and powerless individuals with no customs, no shared affinities or loyalties or history, and no future except to be ruled by their betters.<\/p>\n<p>And if you think that a few decapitated ducks or skinned cats are going to get in the way of that, think again.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      John Daniel Davidson is a senior editor at The Federalist.

Residents of Springfield, Ohio\u2014a community of roughly 60,000\u2014have been voicing concerns about the arrival of around 20,000 Haitian immigrants over the past three years, which has significantly altered their neighborhood in unsettling ways. Some locals have alleged that Haitians are stealing pets and slaughtering them for food. Others claim they are capturing ducks and geese from a nearby park and decapitating them.<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream media quickly published articles on Monday &#8220;debunking&#8221; these allegations by referencing local law enforcement and city officials who stated there have been no reports of missing pets or decapitated birds in the park. However, it&#8217;s important to note that these officials cannot definitively know if such incidents are occurring; the purpose of these stories seems to be shaming those who highlight issues arising from an influx of immigrants into their community.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it\u2019s not just animal cruelty that is concerning in Springfield. The local health clinic has seen a dramatic rise in Haitian patients\u2014an increase from 115 to 1,500 between 2021 and 2023 according to the New York Times. The public school system had to hire numerous Haitian-Creole interpreters due to a significant number of non-English speaking Haitian children enrolling; spending on translation services has increased tenfold compared to four years ago. Additionally, housing prices have surged as many long-time residents find themselves priced out due to new arrivals willing to pay higher rents.<\/p>\n<p>Last year brought further tragedy when a Haitian migrant allegedly killed an 11-year-old boy in Springfield and injured 23 others after crashing his vehicle into a school bus. This incident prompted more residents to voice their concerns regarding immigration issues within their town.<\/p>\n<p>Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has referenced Springfield multiple times recently as an example illustrating how immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration have negatively impacted American towns by overwhelming them with illegal immigrants crossing the border who are then released into various communities across the country. Both Springfield&#8217;s mayor and city manager appeared on Fox News months ago echoing this sentiment about how the influx is straining resources.<\/p>\n<p>The cat-and-duck memes emerged after Charlie Kirk posted on X about reports from Springfield residents claiming Haitians were stealing cats and dogs for food as well as capturing ducks from local parks\u2014a practice that could be considered plausible given cultural practices common in Haiti involving animal sacrifice linked with vodou beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether there\u2019s any truth behind these memes regarding animals being harmed, it\u2019s clear that mass immigration is having detrimental effects on Springfield&#8217;s community fabric. Residents have shared various troubling experiences online\u2014from unlicensed drivers demanding payment after accidents caused by uninsured Haitians\u2014to bizarre incidents like men bathing naked in women\u2019s restrooms at grocery stores or homeless migrants setting up camps on private lawns.<\/p>\n<p>These issues reflect real challenges rather than mere racist jokes circulating online. But why are so many Haitians arriving in America? The Biden-Harris administration facilitated this through policies allowing individuals apprehended for illegal border crossings to be paroled into the U.S., meaning they were released without restrictions while awaiting further proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Vice President Harris noted that approximately 300,000 Haitians received Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under this administration\u2014a program originally intended for temporary relief but which has effectively become permanent over time despite its name suggesting otherwise since its inception during El Salvador&#8217;s civil war back in 1990.<\/p>\n<p>In essence TPS was meant only for temporary situations but has evolved into something much more enduring across different administrations regardless if they\u2019re Republican or Democrat\u2014with Trump attempting unsuccessfully during his presidency attempts at ending TPS status for certain groups until Biden reinstated it upon taking office ensuring those granted TPS remain indefinitely unless future changes occur under another administration like Trump&#8217;s again seeking its dissolution altogether down line potentially impacting communities like Springfield facing ongoing transformations due mass foreign influxes alongside differing customs often incompatible with traditional American values &amp; lifestyles expected here too!<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t inherently racist or xenophobic acknowledging such realities; rather it&#8217;s simply factual observation recognizing diverse cultures exist worldwide where people live differently than we do here domestically! It shouldn\u2019t seem unreasonable asking newcomers adopt our societal norms instead refraining behaviors contrary towards established customs including refraining acts such taking wildlife municipal parks engaging rituals deemed unacceptable locally!<\/p>\n<p>However advocating this requires confidence within our culture along desire preserving nationhood which current leadership lacks entirely! Moreover leaders actively pursue dismantling cohesive national identity favoring rule over fragmented populations devoid shared histories loyalties ultimately leading powerless existence governed solely elite few above all else!<\/p>\n<p>And if anyone believes isolated instances involving decapitated animals will deter progress towards achieving goals mentioned earlier think again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":518,"featured_media":2339006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-32-1.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[28054,40522,5894,4351],"class_list":["post-2339005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-cats","tag-haitians","tag-politics","tag-voting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-32-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/518"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
