I guess my perspective comes from the fact that there are tons of Haitians here in South Florida so I don’t think of them as subhuman.
Do (did) you have any pets?

But greasy.Hey, duck is a tasty bird

Depends on how it's cooked.But greasy.
Dion would become a squatter once I got back home and would refuse to leave. Probably try to add himself onto my bank and investment accounts while he is at it.Question for the board, how comfortable would you be letting someone with the values of Dion, Sam or KAB babysit your children or grandchildren?
The left counts on a legion of ignorant, poorly informed fools in this country. I am convinced if enough people were truly paying attention and practicing at least a little critical thinking, the political landscape would look entirely different.Rarely talk politics in every day life anymore, one reason is I am amazed how people either know absolutely nothing you are talking about or they watched a two minute segment on CNN about it and heard it was all made up.
I mentioned the 20, 000 Haitians that were put in Springfield, Ohio and how devastating that must be for one city to deal with. You would thought I said the moon was made of cheese. They one hundred percent thought I made it up haha
The truth about what’s going on in Springfield is probably somewhere between the sh!thole that is portrayed on right-wing X accounts and the relative utopia you and the NYT are trying to portray.What's Going On in Springfield
Something extraordinary has happened in Springfield since the pandemic though, with the influx of thousands of Haitian immigrants. The actual number is hard to pin down. City officials have estimated up to 20,000, but estimates of 10,000 and 15,000 have also been made.
The New York Times reported last week, “By most accounts, the Haitians have helped revitalize Springfield. They are assembling car engines at Honda, running vegetable-packing machines at Dole and loading boxes at distribution centers. They are paying taxes on their wages and spending money at Walmart. On Sundays they gather at churches for boisterous, joyful services in Haitian Creole.
“But the speed and volume of arrivals have put pressure on housing, schools and hospitals. The community health clinic saw a 13-fold increase in Haitian patients between 2021 and 2023, from 115 to 1,500, overwhelming its staff and budget.”
The Times details how, after decades of shrinking and uncertainty, Springfield was able to attract new manufacturing and business with a strategic plan, and by 2020 had drawn in food-service firms, logistics companies, and a microchip maker, among others:
“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. The Haitians had Social Security numbers and work permits, thanks to a federal program that offered them temporary protection in the United States. Some had been living for years in places like Florida, where there is a thriving Haitian community.”
So what, in fact, do we have going on here?
We have a large population increase over a short period of time; we have a language barrier that can cause various strains; we have housing, schooling, and health services that need adequate resources to deal with a massive and rapid adjustment.
We also have an eager, dutiful, law-abiding, and peaceful workforce helping revitalize a city and helping local businesses thrive; we have a city’s population swelling instead of declining; we have an influx of new taxpayers and consumers filling blue-collar jobs, paying property taxes, shopping at local stores, and contributing to their community.
Are there struggles? Absolutely.
Is it chaos and terror? Absolutely not.
They are making it political and it’s pretty pathetic.Not sure if posted. Just what an odd statement about saying you wish your child had been killed by a white man. Even the way it was phrased was bizarre. I understand not wanting your grief to become political but damn:
We know he has had Chinese duck duck! How is that traitor not in prison?Eric Swalwell is one of the great idiots of our time:
Yeah, I'm watching FOX Weather more now. TWC became another LIB mouth piece years ago but you could still piece together what was going on. But with FOX Weather, you can get the national weather without having to hear about Global Warming or Climate Change which TWC spews every day.Watching on Fox, liberal ABC will not get my time
