Ohio Gov: Haitians Are Here Legally, They’re Good Workers, “This Piece Of Garbage Is Simply Not True”

September 15, 2024 Republicans, Trump Lies

“The Haitians who are in Springfield are legal. They came to Springfield to work. Ohio is on the move, and Springfield has really made a great resurgence with a lot of companies coming in. These Haitians came in to work for these companies. What the companies tell us is that they are very good workers. They’re very happy to have them there. And, frankly, that’s helped the economy.

“Now, are there problems connected? Well, sure. When you go from a population of 58,000 and add 15,000 people onto that, you’re going to have some challenges and some problems. And we’re addressing those. We’re working on those every single day. Primary care is essential.

“Look, there’s a lot of garbage on the internet and, you know, this is a piece of garbage that was simply not true. There’s no evidence of this at all. There are hate groups coming into Springfield. We just don’t need these hate groups. I saw a piece of literature yesterday that the mayor told me about from purportedly the KKK.

“Look, Springfield is a good city. They are good people. They are welcoming people. We have challenges every day. We are working on those challenges. Haitians are – they’re culturally – my wife Fran and I have seen this when we’ve been down in Haiti that education is prized.

“So, when you look at all of these things, people who want to work, people who value their kids, who value education, you know, these are positive influences on our community in Springfield. And any comment about that otherwise I think is – is hurtful and is not helpful to the city of Springfield and the people of Springfield.

“And, again, these people are here legally. They’re here legally. And they want to work. And they are, in fact, working. And when you talk to the employers, what the employers tell you is, you know, we don’t know what we would do without them.

“They are working and they are working very hard and they’re fitting in with our native people from Springfield who have been working in this shop or working in this manufacturing company for – for a long, long time.” – Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, today on ABC This Week.
