They are coming to take over. Sounds familiar. Like Pocahontas and john smith familiar…
0:50 that's hilarious, liberal media asks Haitian migrant if Haitian migrants are bad
That woman is the typical caricature of a MAGA woman. Ignorance easily manipulated by fear. She would prefer to live in a ghost town over a town thriving from prosperity if Haitians are involved. Immigrants work hard, start new business and contribute to society. Unlike some Americans who blame immigrants and the government when their companies shut down and take their jobs. They give up and do nothing except complain.
Trump really the immigrant zar

I'm sorry black migrants, actually all migrants all colors I'm sorry you are being villianized. ❤
I love how Democrats went from the party of let's try and uplift people out of poverty, and help the most needy to… Let's help anyone in the world who will come to this country and vote for us. You either build a country for its citizens or you don't have a country at all.
I think about the new battle plans of the deep state upper management, the Rothschild family cycle and their in-laws' support after the assassination of President Kennedy and before him

Desperate folk Afraid of losing there privilege
Sounds to me like the Haitians are here legally so what’s the issue??
I actually wrote and posted this because of the awful lies that they're telling about those good, decent Haitian people in Ohio.
But it works just as well in this context too, I think…
The way to alleviate Springfield, OH's tax burden is actually pretty straightforward, and (though pretty involved procedurally) not very difficult conceptually.
Train and/or hire these newcomers for jobs. Decent, over-the-table jobs.
With which they will pay,..taxes.
The more people working, the more taxes they pay,..and the lower the financial burden.
It's just not much more complicated than that, if you think it through.
Now, actually doing that is no small thing. But most of the rest of us do that all the time. It isn't easy, but we do it. And it works. Which is kinda one big reason why we do it.
One big actual lesson that I learned (sort of the hard way) is that big, population-level events (the sort of stuff that happens in the News, not down the block) have a,..delay. There's a 'lag-time' between when they take place, and when their effects are felt personally. ..Actually felt down the block, on a 'first-person' basis.
We were sick and dying (dropping like flies,..alright, maybe I exaggerate just a little, but there were a lot of sick people in hospitals on 'makeshift' ventilators, at first), just right before we had a public covid vaccine during the pandemic. We were buying a real lot of stuff via some form of mail-order or another. Prices rose a bit at first (remember the price of disposable gloves and masks?), but we were more worried about jury-rigged hospital ventilators make out of duct-tape and backwards vacuum cleaners (alright, alright,..again, exaggeration),..than we were about the price of groceries,..food.
But after the supply-chain got backed up (and the price of gas-at-the-pump sky-rocketed,..for no good reason that I've yet been able to figure out), the inflation curve went straight off the upward, right-hand edge of the paper. But that was a year later. A year-and-a-half? On into two years?
There's a time-delay. Between when a big thing takes place. And when the effects are often felt on an individual basis.
So, even if these good, decent people are hired for good, decent jobs,..as of 5 minutes ago, even if they're hired right now.
It'll still be a year or two until the effects of that are felt positively in an expansion of the local tax base.
But it would actually happen, never the less. It would just take some time.
Patience. And, …Hope.
Hope springs eternal, yes?

It's funny when white accuse others of not assimilating. Sure because white people have a long standing history of assimilating…I mean assassinating and taking over.
Why don't you go ask any native American's what they think about assimilation.
So much focus on people not in the country. Why is he not showing us a policy that will help actual Americans
I live less than 5 miles from Charleroi! It’s terrible there! He’s not lying! Quit reporting fake news!
