Can one both condemn the racist, hateful lies about an immigrant community And recognize that rapid population growth is challenging for social services, education etc?old salt wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 1:57 amThat's an easy cop out.

But Old Salt is doubling down and burying the Haitians. His subordinates have not said peep. Don’t want to disrupt their chain of command.
Lee said that there are very real problems related to Springfield's population boom that caught the struggling city off guard. Springfield was not prepared to address the housing, health care and other service needs that came with the sudden increase of new residents over the last five years when Haitians arrived, many of them with protected status under federal law.
Hate sells, and OS is both buying and selling it here. He's a retired guy on the East Coast just like the rest of the fake conservatives, pretending to care about this fake issue.
He thinks this garbage will help his team win elections. That's all he cares about....he doesn't care how they chalk up a W because he's convinced that everything wrong on Earth is the fault of whoever isn't like him.
If your community was disrupted, if it impacted you, you would feel differently. NIMBY.
My community has a large migrant population whose neighborhoods I transit daily. Most of my human contact is with "people not like me".
No problem, but we are a wealthy community able to provide the necessary support services. We have not been overwhelmed. I can sympathize with Springfield & Aurora. I have a friend who is a devoted ESL public school teacher. She says our schools are able to help Hispanic students, but the Haitian kids are lost.
Are these migrants "people like you" ?

The Republican mayor of Springfield and Republican Governor of Ohio have no difficulty in distinguishing, but some MAGA types refuse to do so.
And yeah, that’s about race. Nativism.
