Ohio's Republican governor, Mike DeWine, supports President Joe Biden's policy of providing government-funded illegal immigrants to Springfield employers to replace residents who are losing jobs, wages and social stability.
“These people are here legally,” DeWine said. said A-B-C this week Sept. 15. “They came to work… They're good people.”
Wednesday, DeWine said CBS:
Haitians came here to work because there were jobs, and they got a lot of jobs, and if you talk to the employers, they do very good jobs and work very hard.
Brian Heck, the independent mayor of Springfield, Ohio, also ignored the economic anxiety the migration has caused among his residents. spoke “Our commitment to promoting a business-friendly environment is attracting new companies to the region, and we remain committed to working with industry leaders to establish a business-friendly environment,” he said Sept. 15. [businesses] here.”
Employers are rushing to hire immigrants who are receiving federal subsidies and worry they will be sent home. “I wish we had 30 more,” he said. Low-tech factory The company manufactures metal parts. PBS.
But Donald Trump announced Sunday he was ending Biden's policy of importing Haitians into government-subsidized jobs that cut wages and skyrocket rents.
The migrants are being transported through Biden's refugee and parole programs, including the CBP One app for migrants and migrant air flights for job seekers from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Since 2021, Biden's vice presidents have imported 10 million immigrants through legal, illegal and semi-legal routes, including more than 400,000 migrants from Haiti.
The 2022 parole program created by President Joe Biden's immigration secretary, border commissioner Alejandro Mayorkas, has led to the removal of roughly 200,000 Haitians from the country. This “extraction migration” policy has pulled many trained people (college graduates, police officers, textile workers, etc.) from Haiti, making it more vulnerable to political instability and criminal gangs. Republican lawmakers argue that this influx is illegal because the parole program in the country's immigration law was intended for emergency use by a small number of people.
The rest of the influx of Haitians are illegal immigrants, often with low levels of education. They have been released into the country rather than being detained while their asylum claims are decided, as required by federal law. Mayorkas has also provided work permits, federal aid and employment subsidies to the released illegal immigrants through the granting of “Temporary Protected Status.” The granting of TPS does not change the immigrants' illegal status.
Immigrants aren't taking jobs that Americans don't want to do. Instead, employers are using immigrants to fill new and old jobs, thanks to incentives from the Biden administration's economic policies.
In a normal economy, investors create jobs by adding up the cost of workers and machines in a fair labor market. But government subsidies and status make it cheap to hire illegal immigrants, allowing companies to profit from low-value jobs that wouldn't survive in a free market. Without subsidized Haitian workers, these companies would have to pay Americans higher wages, upgrade their workplaces with more productive technology, or avoid creating low-value jobs.
The same subsidies also encourage companies to fill productive jobs with cheap immigrants rather than Americans.
Biden economics are also boosting real estate investors who profit from the high rents made possible by federal subsidies for immigrants. For many immigrants who share rooms and get government housing subsidies, higher housing costs are not a problem.
Kamala Harris has repeatedly promised to enact these policies into law.
The federal government's supply of and subsidies for immigration undermine Americans' ability to earn decent wages and buy decent homes.
The supply of immigrants forces local Americans to live with social chaos caused by immigrants who are unfamiliar with American society, such as violations of zoning regulations, traffic accidents, and civil conflicts.
In an interview with ABC, DeWine dismissed the labor market imbalances and praised Haitians as “good workers,” but said he would try to alleviate some of the social disruptions, such as underfunding health care issues for many of the immigrants.
[The migration] A couple of questions come up. One is the health issue. You know, Haiti is a country with very poor health care. Since the assassination of the president a few years ago, many of the doctors who were there have already left the country. So you have people coming from countries where health care is poor. So then you have the problem of getting them vaccinated, getting their children vaccinated. So there's a lot of pressure on primary care.
So yesterday we announced [actions ourselves, to] Find out if you qualify [for federal vaccinations]If not, we will have to spend about $2.5 million ourselves to help communities expand basic health care.
Another problem is driving. Again, Haiti is not a country. [where] Many people don't drive. There aren't many cars per capita. The way people drive in Haiti is very different from the way people drive in the United States. My wife, Fran, and I have been to Haiti several times, and the driving is [there is] Not at all. So the challenge is getting these people to take driving training so that they know it's safe when they actually get on the road. We have a law in Ohio that says if you turn 18, or if you're over 18, you can get a driver's license in the state. You have to pass a test, but you don't have to take driving training. This is a huge loophole in our law. This is a real problem.
Heck also promised to tackle social issues rather than distorted markets for housing and jobs.
We face challenges related to the rapid growth of our immigrant population, but these challenges are primarily due to the pace at which the immigrant population is growing; [pet-eating] Rumors are being reported. These rumors must not distract us from addressing the real strain on our resources, including the impact on our schools, our health care system, and our emergency personnel.
“We need help, not hate,” Mayor Rob Lew said on MSNBC on September 13 when asked about the rumors of a missing cat roiling the city. However, at the end of the MSNBC interview, Lew said: Recognized How Biden's move makes local rents less favorable for Americans:
Another issue was that the house was being sold to a large LLC. [investors]They're buying up a lot of houses, kicking out the people who have been paying rent faithfully, and then they're moving in immigrants who are paying high rents, so they're exploiting the renters. The same thing is happening in Springfield. People come to me and say, “I got evicted. They said I got evicted because I can't pay the high rent.” And that's not fair.
In two television interviews with Governor DeWine, the TV host focused on allegations that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating residents' pets.
But Governor DeWine also supported Trump, saying, “When you look at the economy and the issues that the American people are most concerned about, Donald Trump is the best choice.”
