      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.

      Education is extremely important.

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

                        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.

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

                                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.

                                    There is, in fact, such a thing as crime by illegal immigrants. Those stories tend to be systematically swept under the rug in reporting.

                                      My understanding is that didn’t happen. Most came by word of mouth as there were blue collar jobs to be had there.

                                      The population dwindled to less than 60,000 by 2014, from more than 80,000 in 1960.

                                      Around that time, Springfield crafted a strategic plan to attract business. City leaders pitched the town’s affordability, its work force development programs and its location, smack-dab between Columbus and Dayton and accessible to two interstates.

                                      In 2017, Topre, a major Japanese auto parts manufacturer, picked Springfield for a new plant in a decaying part of town that had been the site of International Harvester, a farm equipment manufacturer that was once the biggest employer.
                                      By 2020, Springfield had lured food-service firms, logistics companies and a microchip maker, among others, creating an estimated 8,000 new jobs and optimism for the future.

                                      “It was incredible to witness the transformation of our community,” said Horton Hobbs, vice president of economic development for the Greater Springfield Partnership, which executed the plan.

                                      But soon there were not enough workers. Many young, working-age people had descended into addiction. Others shunned entry-level, rote work altogether, employers said.

                                      Haitians who heard that the Springfield area boasted well-paying, blue-collar jobs and a low cost of living poured in, and employers were eager to hire and train the new work force.

                                      I agree that kind of influx is destabilizing and I wouldn’t wish it on my town. But to think this was a top down decision is not correct.

                                      Only non-witches get due process.

                                        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 good arguments to limit immigration.

                                        There is, in fact, such a thing as crime by illegal immigrants. Those stories tend to be systematically swept under the rug in reporting.

                                        Right, so to tackle a lack of decent reporting, it's perfectly understandable for people to just make up stupid shit with no basis in reality.

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

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

                                          I say this from the bottom of my ❤️...

                                          Fuck you. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Most of the pitiful island you immigrated from has gone bloody nuts, because you're worried about appearances. It doesn't matter about your justice system,your freedom of speech or your national identity, as long as the Brits don't by God offend somebody.

                                          It gets tiresome listening to drivel from assholes with absolutely no skin in the game telling people to STFU when their communities are overrun with more people than they can successfully assimilate.

                                          America is not a racist country, not when measured by the yardstick used for the rest of the world. And it's tiresome being constantly accused of it.

                                          Sometimes, I think it might have been better to let the deranged Austrian painter have yall's ass and been done with it. Maybe that's why Washington rightly told us to stay out of foreign entanglement.

                                          Maybe all the wars we've fought since 1950, simply to keep a lid on things, maybe all the young men and women who came back in body bags, all the constant calls for us to do something to right the wrongs, from Ukraine to Korea to Taiwan...Were they worth it?

                                          Were they worth the blood and treasure of all those sorry racist American bastards who walk out of all those little Southern towns, Midwestern cities and the Rust Belt, donning their country's uniform, pledging to protect and defend from all enemies foreign and domestic?

                                          Tell me, critic. Tell me, is it worth it?

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
