Springfield, OH has became the epicenter of the nation’s immigration crisis this week after testimonies from frustrated residents at an August city meeting went viral.
“These Haitians are running into trash cans.
They’re running into buildings. They’re flipping cars in the middle of the street, and I don’t know how like, y’all can be comfortable with this,” said a resident named Anthony Harris, who is now running for city council. “They’re in the park, grabbing up ducks by the neck and cutting their heads off and eating them.”
Another resident named Noel complained of harassment in her neighborhood.
“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard,” she said. “Look at me, I weigh 95 pounds. I couldn’t defend myself if I had to.”
“I don’t understand what you expect of us as citizens,” she added.
“Who’s protecting us if we’re protecting them? Who’s protecting me?”
