“That doesn’t make sense for the government to give them all of that money and not give Americans. I think the government should
recalculate,” he says. “You’re over cluttering us. I think the government should stop that immediately.”
This is somewhat different than the stream of illegal immigrants
flooding over the U.S.-Mexico border who took advantage of
Biden-Harris’s weak immigration policies; the Haitians flew legally into the United States. Biden and Harris waved their magic wand and made it
so. They were granted “immigration parole” and “temporary protected status” by the Biden-Harris administration, a deliberate and calculated policy decision. They’re happening together, though, and they’re causing similar stress on communities.
Here, in Springfield, the Haitian immigration wave is causing some U.S. citizens harm. It’s a story playing out all over America, although
that’s not the story the corporate media or Harris want to tell. Biden-Harris rolled out the welcome mat. That’s inarguable.
Once here, the Biden-Harris administration granted the Haitians
“temporary protected status” – through a program that Trump tried to kill – which grants them a raft of government benefits and debit cards, including driver’s licenses. It’s meant to be temporary, but the government can extend TPS indefinitely. Of course, if the Haitians have children here, those children are automatically U.S. citizens who will someday be allowed to vote (the Haitian migrants can’t vote legally, but two tell us they might do so anyway).
If Harris won’t promise to stop the Biden-Harris immigration policies, Coleman decides he won’t vote for her after all.
“Trump didn’t start this,” Coleman says.
Coleman doesn’t fit the media’s stereotype of an angry racist or conspiracy theorist railing against immigrants. That’s true for most
here. In fact, he expresses empathy for the Haitians and relates to
their working-class plight. They want the same things he does. They
aren’t the villains of this story. To locals here, the government is.
And that starts at the top, with Biden and his VP.

Coleman.
The numbers are staggering. The Haitian population exploded by 15,000 to 20,000 people in a city of just under 60,000, the city manager, Bryan
Heck, wrote in a letter. Affluent Martha’s Vineyard residents
collectively freaked out over 49 arrivals not that long ago. That was lambasted as a “cruel political stunt” in the media, although those people were soon gone.
“It’s taxing our infrastructure. It’s taxing public safety. It’s taxing
our schools. It’s taxing health care…it’s taxing our housing,” Heck said
in July, calling the housing crisis “a hundred times worse.”
