Springfield, Ohio, a quiet town with a population of just 60,000, has become the latest flashpoint in the national debate over illegal immigration. Residents there have been dealing with a surge of up to 20,000 Haitian migrants—an influx facilitated by the Biden-Harris administration’s open-border policies. This once-peaceful community, nestled between Dayton and Columbus, has now found itself overwhelmed by violence and chaos.

The Federalist recently broke a story detailing one particularly bizarre and troubling incident, captured in a police report and audio recording. A local resident reported seeing a group of Haitian migrants hunting geese in broad daylight near a city trail, an unsettling image that underscores just how out of control the situation has become.

The caller, riding his bike to a job orientation on August 26, described seeing four migrants—two men and two women—each holding a goose they had apparently killed. This incident occurred near Water and Warder Streets, in what would normally be a quiet suburban area.

To those unfamiliar with Springfield, this may seem trivial. But to local residents, the sight of migrants openly hunting geese on public property serves as a stark reminder of the broader crisis—one that the mainstream media and the Biden administration seem determined to ignore or downplay. What was once a stable community is now reeling from the strain of accommodating thousands of migrants, many of whom have no legal right to be in the country.

During Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump didn’t shy away from bringing up Springfield’s struggles. He referenced the town’s growing unease, calling out both the Biden-Harris administration and the moderators for attempting to brush off Ohioans’ real fears.

Unsurprisingly, Vice President Kamala Harris, along with the debate moderators, dismissed the issue, labeling it unconfirmed or insignificant. But to the people of Springfield, this crisis is all too real, as they struggle to cope with the rising tension, violence, and lawlessness brought by an unchecked border.

Springfield, Ohio, is just one town among many facing the fallout from the administration’s disastrous border policies. As cities across the nation deal with surging migrant populations, crime, and overburdened public services, Americans are seeing firsthand the consequences of political incompetence. Whether it’s migrant camps springing up in urban centers or, in this case, migrants openly hunting wildlife in residential areas, the breakdown in law and order is a direct result of Washington’s refusal to enforce our borders.
