Ohio's attorney general is planning to sue the federal government in an attempt to halt the Biden-Harris administration from sending more migrants to the state. The attorney general's concern stems from the strain that the influx of migrants is placing on small cities like Springfield.
According to the attorney general, Springfield has seen its population increase by more than a third due to the migrant crisis. He questions the federal government's limits and asks how many more people these cities can be expected to accommodate.
Residents of Springfield have expressed frustration and anger over the situation. One resident described having individuals who cannot speak English in their front yard, causing disturbances and creating safety concerns. The resident, who weighs only 95 pounds, expressed feeling vulnerable and unable to defend themselves if necessary.
Residents have reported incidents of migrants running into trash cans, buildings, and even cars since 2020. The situation has escalated with the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitian migrants in a town with a population of less than 60,000 people.
The attorney general's decision to take legal action against the federal government reflects the growing tensions and challenges faced by communities dealing with the migrant crisis. The lawsuit aims to address the impact of the influx of migrants on local resources, infrastructure, and public safety.
