Residents of Springfield, Ohio, are expressing alarm and frustration over the recent influx of approximately 20,000 Haitian immigrants into their town, which has a population of around 60,000. Reports from the community indicate that the new arrivals have been capturing, decapitating, and eating local wildlife, including ducks and geese, and even pets such as cats and dogs. These actions have led to a significant increase in local tensions and complaints to the city council. Some residents have accused local authorities of turning a blind eye to the situation, and there are claims that commission members have been paid off to allow these activities. The influx has also reportedly led to an increase in the crime rate, making neighborhoods feel unsafe. Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for her role in extending Temporary Protected Status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants, with many residents blaming her for the current situation in Springfield.
