Just yesterday, we wrote of the latest news from the besieged city of Springfield, Ohio. Briefly, to get you caught up, that small city has in the past couple of years been set upon by at least 20,000 illegal migrants, most of them from Haiti. The results have been little short of chaos: wild, sometimes deadly, driving incidents; reports of family pets and park ducks and geese being slaughtered and eaten; long-time residents physically threatened by homeless migrants; and so forth.
Just how and why did this huge influx occur in such an unlikely town as Springfield?
As usual, no one who knows (ie, the federal government) will tell, but there is a viable theory. An X user who identifies as “The Consultant” has posted a thread titled “How 20k Haitians Stormed Ohio to Take Jobs that Were Never Advertised.” In it, he says that “a network of federal grant recipient organizations have quietly seized control of nearly the entire job market in the US.” According to its own website, that network — dubbed The Switchboard — is focussed on foreigner “resettlement” and is financed 100 percent by the federal government.
Promising its employer clients to secure the lowest-cost labor available anywhere, the Switchboard advertises for workers all over the third world, in turn promising them “a plethora of social welfare not available to a typical American worker.” Average American workers are typically unable to view those job listings: they go out only to Switchboard’s favored “refugees.”
It’s not clear which employer(s) in the Springfield area have hired the Haitians through Switchboard, but it is obvious that something has attracted such a large number over such a short time. The Consultant might well be onto something.
