A recent video featuring a Pennsylvania voter highlights the fear that immigrants, backed by policies from the Biden administration, are coming to "take over" rather than assimilate, stirring further controversy over immigration policies and their impact on communities.
A Sept. 24 social media post by Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA CEO and Founder, contained a video clip of a video clip of a Pennsylvania woman speaking with a correspondent from NBC News. In the video clip, the woman expressed concern over the surge of immigrants pouring into Pennsylvania towns, creating a scarcity of resources, jobs, and homes.
PA VOTER: "There's just not enough resources ... this is coming to a town near you."
NBC: "What is coming to a town near you?"
VOTER: "Haitians, or immigrants that have poured over the border within the last couple of years."
NBC: "Why is that a bad thing? Some would say the US is a nation of immigrants."
VOTER: "They're not coming here to assimilate with us. They're coming here to take over."
Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris previously discussed helping open around 50,000 slots to allow Haitian immigrants to enter the country under Temporary Protected Status, many of whom have headed to Springfield.
“That is why also starting with our administration, we gave TPS temporary protected status to Haitian migrants 55,000. And then more recently, we extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants for that very reason that they need support. They need protection,” Harris said in a video.
Creole-speaking Haitian illegal aliens now make up approximately one-third of the population in Springfield, Ohio.
The Harris Department of Justice has erected billboards in Springfield written in Haitian Creole language, encouraging Haitians living in the town to call the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to report any criticism of them for criminal prosecution.
According to the New York Post, fatal car accidents in Springfield quadrupled in 2023, with overall traffic incidents that include injuries up 14 percent. Locals say the increase is connected to the Haitian population that is allegedly unfamiliar with driving on U.S. roads and associated laws.
