Correlation isn't causation, of course.

Local employers say the Haitians are a big uptick from the locals.

So the counter is Haitians are better than regular Ohioans/Americans? Let me know how well that works at the polls.

It's selection bias anyway. Those workers probably represent the upper crust of the immigrants, while the local workers at similar jobs probably represent the lower crust of their group.

I forwarded some links about Charleroi in a couple of Twitter threads, and a few influencer accounts have picked them up…

It’s not about whether they are eating the animals.

Not, it's about whether people listen to Trump's racist dog whistle or not. And clearly they will.

Sorry, sorry, we're not allowed to say it's racist. That's hopelessly left wing and stupid. Anti Haitian immigrant dog whistle.

Are we anti-Haitian immigrant? No, we're not.

We do have a problem when you dump 20,000 non-English speaking immigrants into a town of 50,000 people.

How'd you enjoy that?

So stop making up stories about them eating pets. Address the actual problem.

Citizens of a country or a city being protective and proud of their culture will inevitably be framed as xenophobia and racism, but those conversations are being had all across the western world. The only people not allowed by western progressives to be proud and protective of their culture, are westerners themselves.

Right, so people making up stories about immigrants eating pets or, to take another recent example, murdering young girls, is just a reflection of cultural pride.

Lying about problems actually undermines perfectly good arguments to limit illegal (and for that matter, legal) immigration.
