Going to use this meme post to say I've done some research, and I can empathize with the Springfield community. They have taken in 15-20,000 Haitian immigrants for temporary stay, in a community of 60,000.
This does seem like a real issue that can reshape communities and strain local services. I do believe they need support. It's a bit of a shame it's been presented in such a ridiculous way.

Edit to highlight -
Springfield police, Springfield city and Clark County officials said that rumors of pets or wildlife being eaten by Haitian immigrants had zero verified reports of specific claims
Well said, I support every bit of this coming from the southwest corner of Ohio. We should be embracing this as I can see this as strengthening our local economy.
A country built on immigration needs to continue to embrace immigration. Tired of all this divide, hatred and back-assward non-sense.
Next up, let's fix our education system or none of this will matter in a decade. Shameful we choose to heavily focus on anti-race, anti individualism and other demoralizing, distracting issues. As having kids in the public school system we are screwed if changes are not made there.
