The Radical Left is continuously trying to claim that the news coming out of Springfield is fake. But the immigration crisis is very real.
And the Ohio Governor has spoken out and revealed what is really going on in Springfield.
As the radical left continues to claim that there is no problem in Springfield, Ohio, the reality on the ground is far different. Governor Mike DeWine’s recent announcement to send the Ohio State Highway Patrol and allocate $2.5 million to the beleaguered community highlights just how out of touch the Biden-Harris administration is with the chaos their open-border policies have created.

Springfield, once a quiet community, has seen its streets transformed by a flood of 20,000 Haitian immigrants since 2020. Local residents have faced an alarming rise in issues that range from overcrowded hospitals and schools to dangerous driving on the roads.
DeWine’s move, while necessary, is a stopgap measure to address a much larger issue that Washington refuses to acknowledge.
The Biden-Harris administration’s Cuba-Haiti-Nicaragua-Venezuela (CHNV) parole program, under which many of the migrants arrived, is a glaring example of their reckless immigration policies. Under this program, thousands of migrants have entered communities like Springfield with no real plan for assimilation or assistance.
The Department of Homeland Security briefly paused the program after concerns over fraud arose, but the damage had already been done.
Instead of facing the consequences of their decisions, Biden and Harris continue to push their failed narrative that open borders strengthen the country. They’ve left local communities like Springfield to fend for themselves, all while pretending that the chaos and disruption these policies bring are mere figments of conservative imagination. This is the same administration that has repeatedly turned a blind eye to the suffering of everyday Americans while touting their so-called ‘progressive’ values.
Governor DeWine, in sharp contrast to the federal government’s inaction, has taken swift and decisive steps to mitigate the disaster unfolding in Springfield. While DeWine made it clear that he doesn’t oppose legal immigration, he criticized the lack of support from Washington in dealing with the consequences of their failed immigration policies.
As he stated, “The federal government has not demonstrated that they have any kind of plan to deal with the issue. We will not walk away.”
DeWine’s decision to send Ohio State Highway Patrol officers to Springfield addresses a critical safety concern. Local law enforcement has struggled to manage the influx of drivers unfamiliar with U.S. road rules.
In a press release, DeWine made it clear that the troopers will patrol the roads with the highest crash rates, ensuring that erratic drivers who pose risks to others will be held accountable. This stands in stark contrast to the Biden-Harris administration’s hands-off approach to enforcing the law.
DeWine has also allocated $2.5 million over the next two years to address healthcare needs and provide resources to the community. The funding will go toward driver education, translation services, and more vaccines for children, reflecting the strain that this influx of migrants has placed on local infrastructure.
Yet, even with this effort, DeWine acknowledges that more needs to be done. As he noted, “These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen.”
Springfield is not the only community feeling the pressure. DeWine warned that other Ohio cities, such as Findlay and Lima, will soon face similar challenges as more migrants arrive. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost echoed these concerns, instructing his office to explore legal options to prevent the federal government from dumping unlimited numbers of migrants into Ohio communities.
The left’s refusal to acknowledge the detrimental effects of their policies is infuriating to many Ohioans. Moms wait for hours in emergency rooms with sick children due to overcrowding, drivers face increased dangers on the road, and children attend schools where classrooms are becoming more crowded by the day.
Yet the Biden-Harris administration remains silent, unwilling to step in and provide the support needed to alleviate these issues.
Instead of addressing these legitimate concerns, left-wing pundits and politicians continue to gaslight the American public, pretending that the surge of migrants is nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The reality is that it’s far worse than that. Springfield, like so many other American cities, is being overwhelmed, and the Biden administration is sitting idly by as the problem festers.
Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris, who has been tasked with handling immigration policy since day one of this administration, has been nothing short of a disaster. While Harris claims to be “tough” on immigration, her actions tell a different story. The border crisis has only worsened under her watch, and the surge of illegal immigration continues to spiral out of control.
Harris has consistently flip-flopped on immigration policy, lacking a coherent strategy to tackle the border crisis. She touts compassion and humane treatment but ignores the harsh reality faced by communities like Springfield that bear the brunt of the administration’s weak border enforcement. Under the Biden-Harris regime, illegal immigration has surged, and it’s local governments and taxpayers who are left picking up the pieces.
The radical left continues to gaslight the American people, insisting that there is no crisis in Springfield or other communities experiencing similar surges. But as Governor DeWine, Attorney General Yost, and local residents can attest, the situation is dire.
While the left dismisses concerns as fearmongering, the reality is that communities are being torn apart by the consequences of Biden-Harris policies.
