Snider Park our actual Park if a Haitian

is caught walking the grounds down there

they can get arrested because they're

going down there and they're killing the

Canadian geese so they can take them

home and eat them I wouldn't be

surprised because we used to have a lot

of cats around here and especially down

here at the end of the street that lady

had probably 50 of now she's lucky to

have five and uh the geese down at the

park they're declining it's I don't know

it's going to go downhill quick real we

all know about about the uh about the

neoo just a couple weeks ago being down

ain't saying it's wrong but look let's

think about it I'm 36 years old and in

36 years that's the first time I've ever

seen the neo-nazis rally in our in our

city mom was telling me was coming home

the other night and seeing a c of clan

members clan members there's full on war

I'm trying to interview locals out here

and hear their thoughts about the

Haitians that have moved in yeah no I

don't I don't know I might I I lived

here for 24 years I lived in La for 38

years got it um it is causing probably

some problems uh I personally noticed it

because it took me months on end to find

an apartment to live in sure with the

available housing supplies gone down and

the prices have gone up or what uh I'm

not 100% sure about the prices going up

I mean I hear rumors that there's

landlords ripping off some of the

Haitian people you know like trying to

put multiple families in a house and

charging them too much money I don't

know if that's true it's just stuff I've

heard but yeah it has affected the the

market because you know like I said I

couldn't even get anybody to call me

haven't any problems with anybody I can

tell you that again no cat eating how

you doing sir what's your name pon pon

oh you own this yeah you'd be a great

person to talk to though yeah for sure

we've heard a lot of of the Haitians

that have moved here recently come here

often what's going on here in

Springfield uh they're just like an

influx of the population in the Haitian

Community I mean they protected status

here so they're just like I mean

obviously I've filled up the town with

it and yeah that's where we're at right

now pretty much so you own this

laundromat yeah so my dad owns this

laundromat I own the sneaker swore next

to it so I run both things right now so

Haitian what's the split uh before I

would say last like 2 3 years I mean

primarily whoever was in town but yeah

there's a huge influx in yeah the

Haitian Community that's like primarily

our like customers like nowadays so yeah

I will say there's 100% a divide in our

town thing is like I just hope that

whatever you guys do cover something

good comes out of it right like in the

next five to six years hopefully there's

some sort of unity between everybody

hopefully there's some sort of change

that's the biggest thing like I feel

like you should cover just some sort of

like way to bring people together this

is the guy you want to talk how you

doing man we're filming a YouTube video

we're trying to see what's going on here

this a guy you running for May oh yeah I

try to find you I know I know who you

buildings they flipping cars in the

middle of the street they're in the park

grabbing up Ducks by their neck and

their head off and walking off with them

okay okay all right gra so with more

confusion gained than answers explaining

how these Haitians are passing their

driver's tests I headed down to the

Springfield welfare center where

Haitians are apparently clogging the

lines for locals exhausting the town's

resources and overwhelming the employees

question where you is

from 80 80 80 okay uh how many Haitians

do you think will come out here in line

today that's what we're trying to I'll

say 80% of the people that come out here

will be Haan okay how long you been here

in Springfield I've been here for 7

years now what takes so long yeah is cuz

they've got only two lines that they

serve people in in there sometimes three

and on all three of those they got

interpreters for each one right when

it'll go a lot faster if you had one

line for for people that like couldn't

you know speak English that way well and

then have another line for people that

can go through the line faster cuz a lot

of times they have paperwork with them

and stuff they won't have it in order we

tried the uh split line for a while um

it ended up being less efficient for

everybody um is this about as long as it

gets these days uh this is a normal

Monday we've had worse but

fris

English no standing in line 30 minutes

they might only been four or five people

got it how many people you think will

the thing is there's people there's

people on Twitter and Instagram that

don't think it's real like don't think

none of this sh we just saw it in real

time like none of that shit's real that

you're saying there's no way they

brought 20,000 people uh English no no

no English okay that's crazy if you're a

local trying to get your Medicaid your

welfare benefits Etc you're waiting two

hours now crazy crazy as we're 6

minutes away from This Woman's house

this woman has stated that people are

throwing mattresses on her joints she is

not expecting us I am just going to show

up and knock on her door and see what

happens hi there I saw your um speech at

the city council and I was wondering if

I could interview you know well I've

seen a video of a guy getting a Canadian

goose a Haitian dude and I have rumors

of Haitians taking cats tell me what's

going on here I'm cat lady as you can

tell you have a lot of cats yeah I have

a lot of cats the goose story I believe

originated in Columbus I have not seen

it here and just for context you are

surrounded this entire Community mostly

Haitians now yeah I believe we're

looking at probably about 50% is what

I'm saying but um I'm I'm I'm worried my

town is going to pot everybody wants to

make this into a race issue it's not a

race issue it's culture it's

accountability and it's respect and

that's the things that I'm not seeing

and the women in this country fought

long and hard for the rights that they

have been afforded and these men in this

culture treat their women very badly and

I watch it firsthand come on give me a

break start acting like got some sense

the driving of the vehicles is a main

sticking point patient men came down

with probably a queen-sized mattress and

threw it in the front yard it didn't go

very well I tried to explain I tried to

be nice didn't go very well so you

explained in English yes I had to drop

the f bomb and told him take it and go

so they went down the street and ended

up at that house right there got it so

it's they've thrown trash in the yard as

they walk by I I'm done I'm tired of

dealing with the disrespect I've never

been disrespected in my life and my

ex-husband has never disrespected me

like this they're not Prosecuting for

the property crimes and it's just it's a

big mess and we need some help I want my

city back I want my people happy and

this is my town I want to take it back

do you think the Haitians here are

trying to assimilate to the culture in

the town you grew up in no I I don't I

don't see it if it is more power to him

but there's a language barrier I get it

okay but when they are paroled here on

the I94 they get months of English

lessons the first 8 months if they're

not taking advantage of that then why

should we the taxpayer have to turn

around and have our services overwhelmed

they're saying 20,000 and I am saying

between 35 and 40 with the birth rates

and the things that I see going on so I

don't know who's to blame I don't know

who's door to start kicking in Mike

dwine if you see this Mike dwine get a

hold of me I really would like to have a

word with you and I promise I won't yell

at somebody get a hold of me I don't

care who get a hold of me I need some

solutions I'm losing my mind
