Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently criticized the federal immigration parole program that allows Haitian immigrants to be in Springfield, Ohio legally. Vance emphasized the importance of welcoming individuals who enrich the United States, stating that only those who have the right to be in the country should be allowed to stay.
Vance's comments came in response to questions regarding his previous false claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield. Local officials have refuted these claims, with the city's mayor urging Vance and former President Donald Trump to consider the impact of their rhetoric, especially after incidents like the evacuation of schools and a bomb threat at city hall.
