Springfield, Ohio, is not the only small town in America being overrun by Haitian migrants. Another one is Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a town of 4.000, which has recently witnessed a influx of 2,000 Haitians.
Are these inundations happing by chance, or is there a concerted effort to make them happen? Researchers Christopher F. Rufo and Christina Buttons, decided to find out, and they published their findings in City Journal.
One thing promoting it, they noted, was the Biden Administration’s twisting of the parole law to allow Haitians and others to come here outside the normal channels of immigration. The pretext was that they may be entitled to asylum. Presidential candidate J. D. Vance has called this is an “abuse of asylum laws.” Under this system, 210,000 Haitians have settled in the U.S.
Once migrants are here, Rufo and Buttons found, “[A] network of publicly funded Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) . . . [provides them] with resources to assist in travel, housing, income, and work. These groups are called ‘national resettlement agencies” and serve as the key middleman in the flow of migration. The scale of this effort is astounding. These agencies are affiliated with more than 340 local offices nationwide and have received some $5.5 billion in new awards since 2021.”
Also encouraging and directing the influx, say the researchers, are businesses seeking to recruit a cheap-labor workforce. Their enhanced profits will come at the cost of higher taxes to provide the abundant social services that migrants receive. They also come at the cost of communities becoming so diverse that they cease to be communities.
