Exclusive: Feds and State AG Investigate an Alleged Human Trafficking Empire Run in Springfield, Ohio, for Years by ‘King George’

Dispatches from Springfield, Ohio – The story in this town is not about cats or dogs. It’s about mules. It’s a twin tragedy of migrant workers from Haiti exploited and locals from Springfield marginalized. Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled...

Seems that " King George" is doing very well on government money. The rest of Springfield, not so much.

Getting rich from Springfield’s migrant misery

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — It’s not about the cats and dogs. Nearly everyone in this Ohio town agrees the crisis circling it existed long before former President Donald Trump amplified rumors

gazette.com

"When Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) flew 49 Venezuelan migrants into the 23,000-person town of Martha's Vineyard, Biden branded the move "a political stunt and inhumane." With 58,000 residents, Springfield is only 2 1/2 times the size, yet with estimates of up to 20,000 Haitians now residing in the town, Springfield has received more than 1,000 times as many Haitians as Martha's Vineyard received Venezuelans. While all but five of the 49 migrants spent fewer than 48 hours in Martha's Vineyard, the Haitians in Springfield are largely here to stay"

Interesting article.

A lot of "sources say" in there

I don't blame the "sources" for not identifying themselves. The people with all the guns, all the money, and 99 percent of the press - the federal government, is behind all of this.

Assuming that's 100% correct, that still doesn't paint the migrants as bad guys the way Trump/Vance/et al are. The problem is a for-profit headhunting firm and the lack of accommodations for workers they're bringing in.

Vance is the senator for Springfield. Instead of moaning about migrants that are revitalizing one of his constituencies, why isn't he yelling for more resources to be brought to bear in this town?

They are only going to VOTE for the people who blame the coloured migrants instead of Americans.

And I agree VERY much about Vance. He has an opportunity to strengthen his and assist in this situation, but he's just lobbing grenades of division.

The point of the thread isn't to portray them as bad guys, but they are pawns of the government, and the NGO's they funnel money through.

The resources ARE there but the NGO's get the 1st cut, according to the 2 articles, and the proprietors are doing very well.

That's not the point of your thread, but it is the point of Trump, Vance, et al.

but they are pawns of the government, and the NGO's they funnel money through.

The resources are there for some things, but obviously not all. Something like housing assistance for an individual assumes that the housing exists in the first place, which isn't always a valid assumption.

Seems more like a PR piece for George Ten. If Woodward and Bernstein reported like this, Nixon would have skated.

That’s unfortunate.

That’s unfortunate.

If Harris gets the most votes counted, will her administration continue to subsidize migrant salaries, and rents, in an effort to force out the locals?

No idea. I just hope she doesn’t win.

Utter nonsense. Springfield was a dying city. Haitian immigrants, here legally, resuscitated the area. The locals now have more businesses to work for and shop at, not fewer.

Donald has declared he would round up all these hardworking people and force them out of the country en masse - despite their being here legally. Are you on board with that?

This shows rhe problems of massive immigration allowance. It puts a burden upon communities to deal with it. Often, communities that are NOT prepared. When you send thousands of people into communities and do not provide them the real support that is needed you end up with things like this.

This is just another example of why we need to put a stop to it. We are no longer the country that can just take anyone and everyone. Every community that is taking these folks is over burdened don't have the infrastructure for it.

Until we can figure out how to do it so this doesn't happen it's nothing more than tragic for everyone involved.
