Ever since last night's debate, it has been endless arguing on the internet about what is REALLY happening in Springfield, Ohio. We know an eleven year old boy was killed riding his bus to school by a Haitian driver who was not licensed. That boy's parents now wish their son was killed by a white man instead.
“I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man."

The father of an 11-year-old Springfield, Ohio boy who was killed after being thrown out of a school bus when it was hit by a Haitian migrant with an invalid driver's license called for Trump and Vance to… pic.twitter.com/rc6j2y3hQE
Obviously, what they have experienced is horrific, but the fact their son was killed by an unlicensed driver matters. We also know Springfield, Ohio has experienced a huge crush of Haitian immigrants in a very short amount of time.
If Democrats can stop laughing, the situation in Springfield, Ohio is terrible. City of 58,000 with 20,000 new migrants since the pandemic, courtesy of a generous federal program. That is crazy. All the institutions needed to deal with such an influx are overwhelmed. From NYT:…

Look, even the owner of 'The Onion' admits dumping a large amount of people on one small town has caused some problems. He concedes as much when he sent out the following tweet:
Watch this. This is a remarkable piece of journalism from @newshour about what's actually happening in Springfield, Ohio, where JD Vance lied and said Haitians are eating cats.

No cat murder, no braindead teen gossip Facebook scaremongering — just the reality in this town. pic.twitter.com/ajce3GAf73
Chris Hayes of MSNBC even RT'd that story. Apparently, Leftists have no problem admitting that. Beyond that, there doesn't seem to be much both sides can agree on. Trump claims pets and local livestock are going missing. Leftists say these are urban myths.
My suggestion to Trump’s team is host a town hall from Springfield, Ohio and let the people talk to America.

This seems to be the only way to solve this. Let the people of Springfield, Ohio talk to the people of the United States.
I’d love to see Trump and Vance do the townhall with @megynkelly and @houseinhabit. I think it would be great for RFK and Tulsi to also join. They pull audiences from a wide variety of people and their audiences trust them. Let us hear directly from the people of Springfield OH https://t.co/60QXt7S1a2

This is the path to ensure a wide variety of citizens tune in and there is credibility with a whole swath of Americans. The questions about missing pets and ducks from local ponds can be addressed. Parents upset about the strain on schools can get it off their chests. Firefighters and police officers can tell of the dangers of too many people and not enough resources. Go on national TV and air it all out. There will never be solutions when the problems can't even be discussed truthfully.
