Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno is blasting “depraved” politicians for the migrant disaster in Springfield, Ohio, that he says reveals elected Democrats have “forgotten” they “work for the American people.”
“That’s problem number one, and number two is why on earth are we bringing that number of people into a small community like Springfield, where they don’t have the infrastructure, they don’t have the health system, they don’t have the educational system and to get to the place where they do it would cost tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Moreno continued, “We have incredible priorities here in America. We have people in need, American citizens that need housing, American citizens that are struggling because of high inflation caused by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Why on earth are we taking precious resources from the American taxpayers and using it to benefit foreign nationals? That’s the real question to Springfield that’s not being answered.”
SPRINGFIELD RESIDENT SAYS ROADS ARE LIKE ‘ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK’ AFTER HAITIAN MIGRANTS OVERRUN RURAL TOWN
Springfield, Ohio, has garnered nationwide headlines in current weeks over an inflow of tens of hundreds of Haitian migrants into the city of 60,000, the place residents say the infrastructure doesn’t exist to take care of all of them and that crime has been an rising subject.
“It’s like living in a dystopian nightmare,” Springfield resident Diana Daniels informed “Fox & Friends“ on Thursday. “You hope you wake up and it’s 2019 again, and then you realize it’s 2024, and it’s the same thing over and over again, day after day. It’s hard sometimes to get up in the morning and hear residents that I’ve known for years struggle. This is a paycheck-to-paycheck… kind of town… working class. The citizens that depend on our social services like health care, the Rocking Horse [Community Health Center], going down to the Social Security office for benefits are waiting in line, and they’re not getting the services they need.”
HAITIAN REFUGEES ‘DON’T UNDERSTAND THE LAWS,’ FORMER LAWMAKER SAYS AMID FATAL WRECK, CULTURAL CLASHES
“Elections come down to whose side you’re on and are you on the side of Haiti and Haitians and people suffering all over the world, which clearly we all empathize with, or are you on the side of Americans, American workers, American families, who are seeing their costs of health care go up dramatically, who are seeing their taxes go up, who are seeing their insurance prices go up, who are seeing their grocery bills go up, and what are you doing about that?”
Moreno added, “You’re definitely not serving to by bringing 5% of the inhabitants of this poor nation to America to conflict two cultures collectively and land in a spot like Springfield, Ohio, the place the Americans there are disadvantaged of the very advantages that they’re alleged to get.“
Moreno echoed Daniels’ considerations and defined that residents who’re “entitled” to make use of the assets they’ve paid into are “standing in line behind Haitian immigrants.”
SPRINGFIELD PASTORS SPEAK OUT ON HAITIAN REFUGEE CHALLENGES: ‘THE SUFFERING IS REAL’
“They shouldn’t even be in this country in the first place,” Moreno stated. “That’s ultimately what is unfolding and why this story matters so much, because this is genuinely the story of America. Do we want leaders in elected office in Washington, D.C., like President Trump, like what I’ll do, like JD Vance, who put America first? Or do you want political leaders that have been there forever? These career serial politicians put the interests of foreign nationals first. That’s ultimately what this election comes down to.”
“For example, temporary protected status, operative word ‘temporary,’ is supposed to be given to people who are here who have an emergency in their home country and need to stay for a few months,” Moreno stated.
“Instead, we’re using that to make people stay here permanently. That skips the line from the millions of people who want to come to this country. Why are we giving preferential treatment to Haiti? There’s suffering all over the world: India, Africa, my home country of Colombia. There’s suffering everywhere. Why are we giving preferential treatment to certain countries and not others? And the answer is because you have special interest groups that pay off these politicians, that fund nonprofits, that pay huge salaries to the CEOs and it’s all about money and the people who pay the price and the citizens of the people in Springfield, Ohio.”

Moreno additionally took subject with distinguished Democrats and celebrities who he says haven’t taken the difficulty significantly.
“Then you have depraved politicians like Sherrod Brown that hang out with their Hollywood celebrity buddies like John Legend, who from his multimillion-dollar mansion in a bathrobe, by the way, talks about how the people in Springfield, Ohio, should be welcoming,” Moreno stated.
“Why doesn’t he house them? Why don’t these migrants go to Beverly Hills and live there 16 or 18 per two-bedroom or three-bedroom-home? And why don’t his kids go to school with these migrants that don’t speak a word of English, that their culture is very different than ours because, of course, they’re the elites of this country that want the rest of us to have to live with the results of their ridiculous policies.”
