When I lived in nearby Dayton in the 70's Springfield was an affluent little town with thriving induustry. People drove from many miles toshop in the mall. I hear COVID killed a lot of their jobs and in recovery, finding workers was a challenge, so some of those immigrants are welcome. But the sudden influx has stressed city and medical services. I read that the medical center is spending $50k a month just on translators.
In other news, I have heard they have made great strides in controlling the feral cat population.
I am thinking of driving up there to find a a voodoo hex contractor who gives quantity discounts....

I grew up in the Springfield area and called it my hometown. Lived in the area for 43 years but due to the job situation getting worse with all the larger industry moving elsewhere I moved to Illinois for a work opportunity. While I still prefer Ohio to Illinois Springfield has steadily gone downhill. International Harvester is all but gone, Steel Products is gone, other larger companies with good wages and benefits are gone, Now it is job shops, tool & die shops, small stores etc. and people need to drive to Dayton or Columbus for work. My Brother in Law says it's true about the Haitians. Springfield did have about 60,000 population and 15,000 to some say 20,000 Haitians have been settled there and they have run out of housing for them and are begging the federal Gov't for help.

I was sationed at Wright-Patt and then worked at the PD in Montgomery County for a couple years. Springfield was such a nice community in the day. Sad to hear what has happened there.
yes, it's sad but it is still home. We get back to visit family but only every year or so now.

Given the current state of affairs re: illegal immigration, reports like this don't seem so preposterous.
That's pretty mild stuff compared to what the "guests" and "dreamers" from Venezuela are reported to be doing.

I’d go to the store and get a couple indoor bug foggers.
Set them off on my yard. Fog em out. Now thats for liberal city tactics.
Texans have easier methods more profound

put a cat (fake news cat) in a trap for bate, catch the rodents and drop them in a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppppppp ocean
Two sides to the story it seems. They came in response to a demand for workers willing to take entry level jobs and due to taking up available housing the rental prices have spiked raising homelessness even among the lower income residents already there. Possible too many too fast and ill planned

How an Ohio Town Landed in the Middle of the Immigration Debate
Jobs attracted thousands of Haitians to Springfield, and employers were ecstatic. But then an immigrant driver was involved in a fatal school bus crash. And JD Vance entered the fray.
