The stock market seems to feel that Trump lost badly, as his Truth Social stock is crashing again. If his Russian and Saudi sponsors don't intervene, it may hit $14 today.

Springfield sees influx of 15,000 Haitian immigrants seeking job opportunities

Around 15,000 Haitian immigrants are now living in the Springfield area and, with this dramatic influx in population, many are wondering why they have chosen to live here.

Governor Dewine and the Haitian community say that one of the biggest reasons is job opportunities.

“They are kind of looking for a safe place where they can raise their family and get a job,” says Viles Dorsainvil, President of the Haitian Community Help and Support Center in Springfield.

Odd how some demographics can't integrate into the American way of life on their own. There's more to the story I'm sure.

You mean moving to get a job and having families isn't compatible with the American way of life?  You have a really low opinion of  Americans.

You know what I mean. My family came to the US in 1950, they didn't feel the need to pick a location to be near folks from same old country. And I get your stance which is just a stance, because much easier to find liberal news outlets to backup your view.

Remember what Trump said?

 

He hates her

You're clearly not familiar with American history. Why is Minnesota full of people of Scandinavian Ancestry? Central Texas with Germans? Boston with Irish? New York with Jews? Southern Florida with Cubans?  It's always been the case that immigrants tend to stick together. They hear of work or opportunity through their communities and move where that work and opportunities are. It's the American Way.

All those weakling immigrants, Italians, Germans, Irish, Jews, Scandinavians, Hmong...all of them not a patch on your Dad. I guess America would have been better off without them.

I get it, watching Biden losing was enthralling for you but then watching Trump get thumped was kinda boring huh!

It is the moderator's obligation to point out factually incorrect information. The rules were straightforward. The two seated moderators were the only people asking questions. Moderators will ensure a civilized discussion. Insisting that immigrants were eating the cats, dogs, pets of Springfield despite there being no evidence to support the claim  was not civilized. It was inflammatory and hateful.

The Democrat Party candidate was selected by a vote of the delegates at the Democrat convention. President Biden had not been selected as the Democrat party candidate.  Are you denying that there was a vote? Prior to the Biden withdrawal, the 2 people running were office were Biden and Harris.  If people were opposed to Harris as the VP, they did not have to support the Biden ticket which included Harris.

I'd say the real story is a small town having 20000 Haitians invade their town.

 

There was no invasion and there are not 20,000. Springfield is a city, not a town.

How many times does it need to be repeated, that the city and county was dying as younger people, and entry workers fled the city and the county. The city, county and state were desperately trying to get people to come. The city once had a population of close to 71,000. Over the past 30 years, it slowly lost people. The city population is now approx 58,000. If the immigrant population is 12,000-15,000 it means that the city would have had a population of 43,000-46,000. Cities that lose populations like this die.   Instead, the influx of immigrants  provides economic life and a future tax base. More importantly, it doesn't stress housing. One of the biggest problems in the USA is affordable housing and Springfield was filled with vacant residential properties. The influx of immigrants will save the city.

Total tripe. Anyone could see the supposed "moderators" ambushed only one candidate with their "fact checking". It was a clear effort to favour Harris and they took sides. Everybody could see it.

 

Anyone who claims otherwise has not watched the debate or is taking the mick, or even worse.

Did you read the rules of the  event? Obviously not.

How many times did the moderators  correct the false statements of  Trump? 5X? 10X 20X  Trump made 30 false claims so there were plenty of opportunities.

 

For you to claim the moderators took sides with their fact checking, means that there must have been multiple times when they did so.  Trump forced the moderators to correct his false claims because they were inflammatory, hateful and  grossly incorrect and violated the debate rules about remaining civil, which means not inciting hate against people. Three such occurrences were;

1.  Claiming that unauthorized immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, OH despite there being no evidence.

2. Claiming that Democrats support killing babies after they are born, despite there being no evidence. 

3. Claiming that “crime is through the roof,”  despite the evidence showing a significant decrease in violent crime and event that the property crime rate had fallen.

 

Trump's intentionally false statements were corrected because the  moderator's had a duty to do so.

Aside from that, the moderators were not fact checking, although Trump made 30 false claims.

Exactly, which is why I said it was a mistake for Trump to play her game on an enemy station ( with an obviously biased moderator that was prepared to offer her support during the debate ).

If he does decide to do another, the  rules should require the moderators to not say anything other than ask the questions.

It's not the moderators job to correct what the candidates say. That is up to the opposing participant to point out in response time.

It's certainly biased when it's only done to one participant. It was a disgrace.

Can you understand the concept that Trump lied a lot more than Kamala Harris?

 

Or are you opposed to fact checking in general? Do you think it's okay for candidates to lie without correction?

More to the point, if one candidate lies more than the other and gets fact checked a lot more, the lying candidate can get by if he has army of online trolls who claim that the moderators are biased.

 

We know that you are trolling when you don't address the actual lies that Trump told.
