This was the question my conservative, yet usually politically uninvolved, wife asked me this morning.

I said "They flew 20k Haitians into a small town of 60k in Ohio and there are reports of the Haitians eating some of the cats and dogs. The Dems online are saying Trump is lying about it but the more people look into it they are finding it's true."

Neither of us watched the debate yet here we are talking about an immigration issues in Ohio.

Interesting. I have nothing real to add to this anecdotal exchange other than I wonder how many other conversations about this topic are being had around America by the silent majority?
You make it seem as if "somebody" flew 20K Haitians into Springfield overnight. That is demonstrably false. The 20K legal immigrants arrived in Springfield over a period of around 5 years, most of them arriving by bus from Florida. Of course, the city of Springfield has lost around 20K in population due to local residents voluntarily leaving due to economic conditions over the past 10 years (most under Trump). Springfield was definitely a city in decline.

Due to the fact that the Haitian immigrants (legal) that settled in Springfield found an environment with jobs (although low-paying) and an existing Haitian culture, more Haitians moved (mostly from Florida) to take advantage of the low rents (due to the loss of existing residents) and ready (low paying) jobs. As these were legal immigrants, there was not a problem with employing them. Local businesses found these Haitians were honest, reliable, and did a good job. I have not heard of an employer in Springfield to have any disparaging comments about Haitian employees.

The false narrative of "eating pets" is a form of "blood libel" (look it up).



Lol and there we go. We are racist . So predictable.

It's always interesting that liberals know all the dog whistles and conservatives have no idea what they're talking about.

It's almost as if y'all are gaslighting to cover up your own racism...

Thanks for giving the facts that should scare the bejesus out of anyone. No where did I say illegal immigrants. Second, 5 years to turn over 33% of a town is just as frightening as it sounds.

As for the bull**** you are spewing about people getting jobs shows your lack of economic understanding. Bring in tons of poor people and of course people are going to flee as their wages drop through the floor. It's called supply and demand.

You are just showing how much you hate poor Americans and want them to suffer.

A web search didn't take long: Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_meat

The obvious place would be China. I think that they eat just about anything over there.

However, it has been far more prevalent than that. Even in the US, it was legal in 44 states until 2018.

That honestly is what should be news

Actually only you progressives are talking about cats and dogs and lying.

Actually without Trump saying it no one would care about the mass immigration to that town and your Pravda news channels wouldn't speak of it.

We, people who love America's founding principles, are talking about how unfettered immigration is being used to push poor Americans further into poverty while it has the side effect of also causing thousands of Americans to become victims of foreign born criminals.

Please though, keep bringing up Trumps "lie."

Best thing about the debate discussion on the topic is that people are, like your wife, looking into it for themselves.


Doesn't sound like his wife is "looking into it for herself." Sounds like she asked her husband about it and he told her "the more people are looking into it, they are finding out it's true." lol.

I'm sure she got paid handsomely for that retraction while the legacy media and the Dems (oh wait, they're one in the same) pray this story goes away. Did the police officer who's body cam footage from a month ago in Ohio retract his statement. You can watch it here Danimal if you dare (it's only 1:46 seconds, I'm sure you can spare that amount of time):




Why would the officer "retract his statement?" This crazy lady did in fact kill a cat. However she was born and raised in Ohio and has nothing to do with Haitian or other immigrants nor Springfield.

So, let me get this straight. The actual residents of Springfield are saying that the introduction of huge numbers of Haitian immigrants who have failed to assimilate are creating serious problems in their community and liberals who live nowhere near Springfield are telling them that there are no problems and that they are racist for saying that there are. Does that sound right?

Now imagine that 20 Haitians living in single homes moved in next door to the liberal gaslighters on TexAgs. They would be up in arms. Martha's Vineyard got 50 migrants and they kicked them out within days. 50! Now imagine 20,000. Hypocrites.

By the way, regarding them eating ducks and geese, so what? I've eaten ducks on a number of occasions and would love to have goose at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

That said, if they are eating Canadian Geese, they must be really hard up for food. Canadian Geese supposedly taste really bad.

It has been suggested that we should cook Canadian Geese for the homeless in homeless shelters. Perhaps that would encourage them to get a job.
Our culture , and often our law, doesn't take kindly to the taking of pets for food. If you want a duck or goose, go to the grocery store, go hunting outside of such urban habitat, or find a friend who hunts. Their culture has resulted in likely the biggest shi#hole country in the western hemisphere, and people are right to push back against the cultural destruction (not to mention the physical destruction) of their communities by such trash people. You likely won't find any nice parks in Haiti where you can take the kids to feed to ducks and geese. I wonder why?

Did the migrants have the proper license & stamps to harvest the birds? If not, prosecute them in federal court for violating the Migratory Bird Act!

Oh wait, we can't prosecute minorities for ANYTHING because that's racist!!

Must have me mistaken with someone else. I was pointing out that the media and left has moved from talking about the problem (the border being wide open allowing anyone and everyone in) to only wanting to talk about Trump and Republicans lying.

That is what should be news - how quickly the media/left has moved away from the actual problem (immigration) to wanting to solely focus on 'fact-checking' a claim about immigrants eating animals.

Bull***** I live about 50-60 miles from there. There's plenty of everyday Americans that can fill those jobs. If government would get out of the way, those positions would be filled with ease.
At any rate, it's incomprehensible to increase the population of a community by 33% in three years, and have enough employment to completely absorb that population increase. That is, of course, unless new factories are popping up in Springfield.

DId I miss that little bit of news?

The better question is - why did this story become so popular on social media outlets a day before the debate? And the next question should be. - why did ABC have a fact check for it from the city manager of Springfield ready to go for the debate?

How did they know this would even be a topic brought up in the debate? It seems like a very random localized issue to have blow up right before the debate, and then have the moderator fact check before a debate

It is almost like it was used as bait.

I find this very interesting as well. Why would ABC simply reach out to the city manager of Springfield BEFORE THE DEBATE, and do absolutely no other investigative journalism on the reports of pets disappearing?

There's a two hour city council meeting with multiple citizens that spoke on this issue. Why were NONE of those people interviewed?

The answer is, as you note above... It was a setup.

Sorry, hard to keep track. They were never going to cover it because it's negative news for the progressives. That is why this thing is so interesting. They want to obsess over Trump the liar but brining this up causes conversations.

All I think of is "The dingo ate my baby".

Quote was everywhere (pre-meme days) & even on Seinfeld. Mother convicted of murder. Later was determined that the dingo did, in fact, eat the baby & she got out of prison.

I have no idea who is or is not eating what, I just know that obscure claims like these can really take off.

Between 1960 and 2010, Springfield population dropped by 27%, due primarily to deindustrialization. In 2014, the city government, desperate to do something to reverse the decline, decided to launch a pro-immigration campaign named "Welcome Springfield". AFAICT, they weren't specific about what countries they wanted to attract immigrants from, but the campaign got the attention of some Haitian organizations, and ultimately 20,000 Haitian immigrants moved there, with predictable effects on race relations.

The false narrative of "eating pets" is a form of "blood libel" (look it up).

Among the other things to ridicule in this post, let's not let this one slip by: pinning the town's replacement trend on Trump's 4 years in pseudo-control of the federal executive branch in the middle of a 10 year trend.

Zero logic. Zero coherence. Just flailing and gaslighting that the Dems and Swamp aren't assaulting the middle class and small town America.
