Virtually everyone calls the U.S. immigration system broken. Emotion hit a new high over the last two years as cities and towns struggled to accommodate migrants. With emotions high, Republican-led states have bussed new arrivals to Democratic-led cities. The presidential election has shifted the spotlight to a city whose latest residents are legally in the country. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, have jumped on disproven rumors that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating household pets. That’s part of a long history of fearmongering over immigration. The bottom line: Immigrants are coming and staying in the U.S. through methods and programs that are not easily captured in political rhetoric.
