There has always been a struggle with newcomers. The Scorsese movie Gangs of New York dramatized that. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial in Boston was due to suspicions about Italian immigrants, The Japanese internments in WW.2. I bet Sudanese and Ethiopians in South Dakota are more than merely a curiosity.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.
Haitians in staid Ohio probably stick out like a jockstrap on a convent's clothesline.
The "chaos" though, has been ginned up to make an artificial campaign issue.
