Flood of Migrants Send Crime Skyrocketing in Springfield Due to Kamala’s Border Crisis

Kamala Harris was supposed to fix the border. Remember that? She was handed the role of “Border Czar” by President Biden, tasked with solving the growing crisis of illegal immigration. Instead, she’s done next to nothing.

The border has been left wide open, and millions of illegal aliens have flooded into our country, overwhelming cities and states across the nation. New York, Chicago, and countless others are drowning under the weight of this influx while Kamala twiddles her thumbs.

Let’s be real: Harris couldn’t be more detached from the crisis. With each passing day, we see more and more cities struggling to cope with the endless stream of illegal migrants. It’s a disaster. Hospitals, schools, and public services are all buckling.

The Biden-Harris administration has not only failed to stop this crisis but has actively made it worse. And where’s Kamala? Nowhere to be found. The promises were empty, and the results have been catastrophic.

From Daily Wire:
Reports of shoplifting and vehicle theft increased considerably in Springfield, Ohio, following the arrival of thousands of Haitian refugees, according to data obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a records request.

The town, which had a population of 58,622 in 2020, has taken in between 12,000 and 20,000 Haitian refugees over the past three years, marking a population increase of between 20.4% and 34.1%. From 2021 to 2023, Springfield also saw a 51.5% jump in motor vehicle theft reports and a 112.8% spike in reports of shoplifting, data provided by the Springfield Police Division shows.

In Springfield, Ohio, the consequences of this failure are clear. Over the past three years, between 12,000 and 20,000 Haitian refugees have moved into the small town of just 58,000 people. That’s a population increase of up to 34%. What followed was an explosion in crime, from shoplifting to vehicle theft. Reports show a staggering 51.5% jump in motor vehicle thefts and a shocking 112.8% spike in shoplifting cases. Springfield residents are feeling the pressure, and they’re fed up.

Public services are strained to the breaking point. Housing prices have skyrocketed, accidents are on the rise, and local infrastructure just can’t handle the influx. The city’s manager, Bryan Heck, even sent a desperate plea for help to both Ohio Senators, Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican J.D. Vance, as well as South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. They’re all being asked to help deal with the disaster that Harris and Biden have created.

Some residents have even claimed that public debauchery and criminal behavior have become regular occurrences. While the police haven’t verified all these claims, the frustration in Springfield is palpable. The town’s crime rate was already higher than the national average before the migrants arrived. Now? It’s a whole new level of chaos.

Governor Mike DeWine has stepped in, setting aside $2.5 million to help Springfield deal with the crisis and sending the Ohio State Highway Patrol to assist with traffic enforcement. One tragic incident highlighted the town’s growing traffic problems when a Haitian national, driving without a license, crashed into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and injuring several others. It was a devastating reminder of just how much this influx has impacted the community.

Many of these Haitian migrants were initially brought in to meet labor demands after new businesses were attracted to Springfield. But the reality is, their arrival has done more harm than good for the town. The strain is visible in every aspect of daily life—from wrecked cars to overcrowded housing. And despite all the chaos, Harris and the Biden administration have done little to offer solutions.

Instead of fixing the border, they’ve allowed over 7 million migrants to pour into the country, many of them flown directly in. Over 400,000 of these migrants, including 154,000 from Haiti, were flown into the U.S. under a Biden-Harris program riddled with fraud. While some migrants may be paying taxes, many are also drawing on government benefits, further draining local resources.

Springfield is crying out for help. “We’re tired—help,” one resident told the Daily Caller News Foundation. It’s the same story we’re hearing across the country: American towns and cities are overwhelmed, exhausted, and left with nothing but broken promises from their so-called leaders.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kamala Harris has failed to fix the border crisis, leaving cities like Springfield overwhelmed.
  • Springfield, Ohio, has seen a massive spike in crime following the influx of Haitian refugees.
  • Local leaders are begging for help as the Biden-Harris administration continues to ignore the problem.
