Haitian migrants began arriving in Springfield in 2018 when Trump was President.

And nobody "dropped" them. They simply moved there with the opportunity of jobs and housing

Exactly, and by many accounts, they revitalized a declining city.

According to the census, there are only about 5000 Haitians in all of Ohio.

They exaggerate the numbers and create the rumors because they’re racist. Plain and simple.

And crime, property and violent crime, in Springfield was actually worse in the early 2010s than after the Haitians arrived. Blaming them for a high crime rate in a dying rustbelt city is insanely misleading.

There are also only 5K of them in all of Ohio, a house of cards:
[Quoted tweet]
Far-right movements have been using Springfield, Ohio as a propaganda tool since early 2023.
There aren’t 20,000 Haitian immigrants there
in fact, there are barely 5,000 in the entire state.
The level of cognitive dissonance required for this narrative is staggering.
