Native European Americans Finding It Hard
Americans are left homeless as Haitians acquire housing.
during 20,000 Haitian citizens have relocated in Springfield, Ohio during the past four years, resulting in a housing issue whereby Springfield will not be able to satisfy its demands unless aid is given.
Now under national attention due to their mention during the ABC News presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, suburban Ohio town residents are seeking help as they have been coping with the effects of mass immigration for years. This covers a housing crisis, increases in vehicle crashes and other claimed crimes and hardships.
Reports state that Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck asked for federal help via letter in July to GOP Sens. J.D. Vance of Ohio and Tim Scott of South Carolina.
“Twenty-five thousand people have invaded our sleepy little community here in Springfield,” local non-denominational pastor Barron Seelig told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), active in helping feed and aid the homeless population of the area.
“We’re 55,000 people here and they sent an extra 25,000 people here,” Seelig went on. “People’s nerve is on end and our resources are taxed.”
The preacher said that majority of the destroyed vehicles in the lot were there as Haitian people “don’t know how to drive” and claimed daily accidents were result of this.
Hermanio Joseph, a national Haitian driving a minivan without a licence, swerved in front of a school bus back in August 2023. On their first day of classes, 11-year-old Aiden Clark passed away and over a dozen other pupils were hurt. For the crash, a judge in May sentenced Joseph to more than 13 years in jail.
Zillow statistics show that median rental rates in the town have surged over the past year, therefore increasing the expense of living in a region known for cheap cost of living.
One homeless mother who had just arrived to a nearby soup kitchen with her kid to collect a free lunch stated, “I’ve been here since about March.” “We have been looking for somewhere, but the Haitians always get all the housing, thus we cannot locate any place at all.”
She claims that since all the homes have gone to foreign nationals, they cannot locate any. “I had never in my life seen a Haitian, didn’t even know what a Haitian was until I came here to Springfield and it’s ridiculous,” she added.
Apart from poor driving and housing priority, other typical concerns by residents about their new Haitian neighbours were regular late-night parties and public depravity. A homeowner said he saw immigrants picking up women and having sex with them in public, occasionally even in front of young children from his house.

As their home country continues to undergo turmoil, the Biden-Harris government in June approved a renewal of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 300,00 Haitians, therefore providing deportation protections in the U.S. Haitians with TPS were previously identified by the White House as scheduled for 2021 and revived late in 2022. The most recent decree granted deportation protection to Haitian citizens until early 2026.
Additionally included in a mass parole scheme called the CHNV program are hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela legal authorisation to fly into the nation.
NPR reports that Springfield’s poverty rate in 2022 was double the national average when Haitians started to arrive in significant numbers. For drug overdose statistics in recent years, Seelig said Springfield is “one of the highest in the nation”. The preacher underlined once more the community cannot manage the situation on its own.
Seelig remarked, “We’re tired.” “Send support.” Assist us in fixing this.
This is your desired way of living? If you seek freedom and many nations provide a greater standard of living than America, it is time for relocation.
