Former President Donald Trump has criticized the Harris-Biden administration's immigration policies, particularly focusing on the resettlement of 20,000 Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, a town with a population of 58,000. Trump claims this influx has strained local resources, increased enrollment in Medicaid and food assistance programs, and led to a rise in motor vehicle accidents. Some local residents have expressed concerns about safety and the impact on their community, with reports of pets and wildlife being harmed. Trump has also accused mainstream media of downplaying the situation to discredit his statements. Trump also mentioned similar issues in Aurora, Colorado, and noted the upcoming election in 54 days.
