Springfield, Ohio Resident Drops 'Nightmare' Details About Illegal Haitian Migrants


A resident of Springfield, Ohio has sounded the alarm on the ongoing migrant crisis, saying the town is a “dystopian nightmare.”

Diana Daniels spoke to “Fox & Friends” this week and said that her town has changed significantly since the surge of Haitian migrants began,” Fox News reported.

“It’s like living in a dystopian nightmare,” she said to host Lawrence Jones on Thursday. “You hope you wake up and it’s 2019 again, and then you realize it’s 2024, and it’s the same thing over and over again, day after day. It’s hard sometimes to get up in the morning and hear residents that I’ve known for years struggle. This is a paycheck-to-paycheck… kind of town… working class. The citizens that depend on our social services like health care, the Rocking Horse [Community Health Center], going down to the Social Security office for benefits are waiting in line, and they’re not getting the services they need.”

“It breaks my heart to see people that I taught and their children experiencing this, so I took it upon myself to make sure that I showed up at every City Commission meeting pleading our case,” the woman said.

She said she did not mind when former President Donald Trump placed a spotlight on the town during his debate with Democrat presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“If it took something like this to get the spotlight flashed on us, then so be it. We’ve needed help for several years, and maybe we’re going to finally get it. The sad thing is, it’s more of my money being spent on a problem that we did not create,” she said.

She said the issue is not about skin color but about culture.

“Some of those comments are being made by people… that I’ve known for many years, and that’s probably the hardest thing to deal with because the city has always been a close-knit community,” she said. “We have pockets of neighborhoods and what’s happening is a disruption of the smaller neighborhoods, and it has never been a race issue… It’s not about color, it’s about culture.”
