The media deleted it!!!!

Perhaps the dog ate his homework.


Remarkable how that classic ethnic smear holds up.  Each generation of bigots finding a "those people eat pets" anecdote to administer a kick to whichever group is currently seen as an invading threat.

In Springfield, Ohio the influx of Haitians is an invading threat to the resources of the Community.

The mayor there seems to disagree.  In fact, the Haitians are credited with bringing an economic revival of a dying town.   Woops.

The Repo governor also disagrees. But immigrants  - in this case, legal immigrants - are a convenient target to blame for social problems not of their making.

Why Thousands of Haitians Have Settled in Springfield, Ohio
Businesses needed workers, and Haitians, many already authorized to work, heard living costs were low. But the newcomers have strained resources, and that has fueled  tension.

Then they are no different from any other group of legal workers that come in to fill jobs.  Economic revival requires new workers, and will strain resources.  When the Bakken Shale opened up in ND, new petro workers flooded in to towns like Dickinson, and you got cheaper natural gas, and made not a peep about strain or invasiveness.  Twit.

But you argued racism was at the core of the Springfield situation.
The Mayor and other city officials laid the blame on the Federal Government.

I have. And there is nothing in there blaming the Federal government for problems stemming from the sudden population growth: the need for more housing and to upgrade roads, schools, health care facilities and the like. Just a hope by the City Manager for Federal aid. That is why I asked you; my one free read has disappeared so perhaps I missed something.

In fact, the "strain" on services comes from a population influx, not an influx of immigrants specifically. That strain would be there if the people who came for the jobs were native born. Making it about Haitians is where the xenopboia or racism starts to come in, and notably it is NOT the city's leaders doing that.

I think you are about four posts behind.
Or stupid.

 Red has lost his Ohio privileges. It makes him salty toward anyone who is actually thriving in that state.

It is also part of the republican Hate America First campaign.

So, there is nothing in that article that supports your claim that the mayor and other city officials blame the Federal government for the problem, and as a result rather than answer you just insult. Behave as expected.

You left no choice for me since you ignored the facts presented in the article.

Red was left with no choice!!!  He only calls people names out of a sense of obligation. We all would be better off with such a sense of responsibility.

[jmmengel]

Red was left with no choice!!! 

Yes. For once you understood a post.
 Now the choice is to leave the gutter to you, Harry, and  Barton since you all have so much more experience there.

You are a true piece of work
