It was in September of ‘24 when the worries about Haitians eating cats and/or dogs in Springfield, Ohio became a big story, with memes, at least one catchy song, and a mention by Donald Trump during an election debate. Peak Stupidity didn’t get to it for a few months, at which point we posted Targeted Cultural Destruction and a deep dive into Tragic Dirt .
As much as we love our cats and dogs, that’s not what the real story was:
We're talking about flooding a town of (formerly) 60,000 residents with 20,000 (33% more) primitive, violent extremely-foreign residents. It's not like they are expected to assimilate, or they'd have spread them 20 each to 1,000 towns. They did this to little Springfield, Ohio - not particularly randomly, as it was about some Big Biz quest for cheaper labor (screw the Ohioans!) - and they could do it to anywhere else at will. Maybe some town is simply too White and too MAGA. Maybe the local county Sheriff has been upholding the US Constitution too seriously. They can just target your home for cultural destruction... or could, …I read something recently about the Governor of the State of Ohio - he’s a Republican* even - and his more recent statements about the Haitians of Ohio. It’s about President’s Trump recent move - it started with the Somalians, I think, at least in his mind - to finally put the “Temporary” back into “Temporary Designated Status” for migrants into the US. The original idea was that these people came due to events such as the earthquake in Haiti 20 years back and must be allowed to stay in this country until the emergency is over. Thing is, Haiti and Somalia are nothing but one forever long emergency.
The numbers of them, from various and sundry foreign lands, are in the half millions or millions, and all this goes on the LEEGULL side of the immigration ledger. Without someone FINALLY having the will to do something - that’d be our current President, of course - they’d stay forever, as even more come in.
The Hill - pretty arrogant naming, as we’ve got lots of hills! - reports GOP governor: Trump’s push to end TPS for Haitians ‘is wrong’ . That’d be this Mike DeWine.
DeWine later noted, though, that “once you get beyond that [deporting the criminals], I don’t think there’s a consensus for taking people who are working, who are supporting their family,” including Haitians in his state — specifically in Springfield, Ohio, the subject of false accusations from President Trump and Vice President Vance during the 2024 campaign regarding Haitian migrants eating household pets. [We don’t know, but I guess they’re safe if these guys eat at the company cafeterias…]”Any other way” means beside paying wages that Americans will work for without mooching off, well, themselves in that case. Ohioans too would like to support their families. Only so many can be Governor.
“These are people who, if you talk to the employers, they were filling jobs that were not being able to be filled in any other way,” the Ohio Republican noted.
“So it’s been a big boost to the economy. So if one day they know that TPS is taken away, no employer can hire them anymore.”So what’s the problem? Oh, and he doesn’t think there’s a consensus for sending Haitians home. Perhaps he should talk to a few Ohioans who work for a living, or WOULD LIKE TO work for an actual living.
Upon first glance at stories like this, it seems that Mike DeWine is just another Chamber of Commerce bought-and-paid-for traitorous politician, helping Big Biz make even more money, while the (potentially) working man of Ohio has a rougher and rougher time. Forget even HAVING a family, much less supporting one, of you’re one of lots of young White men.
There’s more to this case though. Mike DeWine and his wife Fran have a big connection to the
A site called Bear’s Wire, a part of USA Today, has a lot of into here.
The DeWines began underwriting Hagan's mission and in 1999 the schools were named in honor of Becky DeWine, their daughter who was killed in a 1993 auto accident at age 22. Becky, who had just graduated college, had planned a career in journalism.Ahaaa! Wait, though...
Political instability, gang violence and natural disasters have led to periodic closures of the schools. But as of Jan. 19, all but one campus is open, according to a DeWine spokesman.Somehow, yeah, it’s had dysfunctional governments throughout its history***, the economy has been in dire straits throughout its history, and it’s been a dangerous place throughout its history, because, Haitians. I’m gonna do this again, excerpting part of that “Tragic Dirt” PS post linked-to above. It’s nothing so profound, and in fact it makes sense at first. This is, I think, the mindset that believers in this idea have, and one can see you don’t have to be completely stupid to have such a mindset… not completely:
DeWine, who last visited Haiti in the summer of 2019, keeps a keen eye on conditions there.
"The situation in Haiti is as bad as it's ever been, probably worse than it usually has been," DeWine told the statehouse news bureau. "You have gangs that run most of the country. You have a dysfunctional police, you have a dysfunctional government. The economy is in dire straits. It's a very dangerous country."
Haiti is a shithole, for whatever reason. We went there on a mission, and it was just hopeless. I don't want people to have to live like that. We have so many great places here in America they could live. It's not fair for them to have to live in their shithole while we all live in nice places.Let me get back to the story of Rebecca DeWine, Mike and Fran’s young adult daughter killed in a car wreck. That’s terrible. I can understand the pain, and I’d figured first that’s why Mrs. DeWine got them into the support for the schools down in Haiti. Make use of that mothering instinct, etc, etc., but NO, I found out that they have 7 other children. Those children have brought the family 26 grandchildren! There’d have been sorrow nonetheless 33 years ago, but that’s still a BIG family, right there in Ohio.
Let's invite them here. We have enough room to get all of the Haitians away from that shithole. We can help all of them! They will very much appreciate living in our, and what can also be their, nice places.
What I really don't get is those people who complain about some extra people, the Haitians, living in our nice places with us. Do they want them to keep living back in that shithole? How mean!
All that brotherly love for those Haitian children that, face it, are going to become Haitian adults, is something the DeWines are no doubt proud of. Do they not have any to spare for their brethren in Ohio, the place that the head of this family is supposed to govern? How about their own grandchildren who may be going to schools with masses of Haitians right now or in the future? Are Mike and Fran so delusional that they think “That’s so great!”, or do they tell everyone, “No, it’s not about race, but just that kids in these other schools get better test scores, you know”?
In the meantime, all these Ohioan school kids in the foreseeable future, at least per Ghost of the Future without the Orange Man, will not live a childhood like Governor DeWine’s in Yellow Springs, Ohio with its 3,000 people in those 1950s. It’s a time and a place I can envision being very close to the small town in Ray Bradbury’s wonderful Dandelion Wine.
That CAN’T HAPPEN ANYMORE for Ohioan children, with masses of foreigners in town. Do you understand that, 79 y/o Mike DeWine? How about you, Fran? I think that’d make you feel pretty sad for your 26 grandchildren and their children, but I guess you don’t understand. Otherwise you two might want to consider changing your minds about welcoming more of “your” brethren from that nearly worst place in the World. (Somalia is still likely #1.)
In more than one way, Governor DeWine and wife Fran are showing a complete lack of any love or compassion for the millions of actual Ohioans, working men and children. I suppose Ohio women should be included too - nobody likes to get raped or attacked on the street.
Part 2 will be about the religious aspect of this story. Then, I had a Part 3 in my head that I can’t remember much of now, but it’ll have a very appropriate rock song attached.

** Last I read, it had been blocked by yet another obstructionist Commie judge, but what’s new?
*** Let’s call that 220 years for a round number from the time the slaves revolted and killed all the White men, woman, and children to be free to create their Wakanda… ooops, Haiti, WTH??
