I would like to tell JD Vance and Bernie Moreno

Go to Haiti and live there for a week so you can experience for yourselves what it’s like there, then come back to Ohio and tell the Haitians in Springfield desperate to escape the poverty and violence there that they better “pack their bags” because King Donald is going to revoke their temporary status as soon as possible.

And why do Rethugs always shake their fists when they speak. Moreno shook his fist during the “pack your bags” speech.

Pretty rich for someone who’s an immigrant himself and who claims his family came to America for a better life.

It would do them good to follow it and live in Haiti for a while.

Of course they won't.

And our own Governor who underwrites a school in Haiti and sticks up for the ones in Springfield and says they are good people, still supports that orange blob. It is sickening.

Probably not as altruistic as it seems. I would go more with human trafficking. His buddy has a plant in Springfield and I'm sure that the Hatians are more than likely being exploited. If not great, he isn't the weasel I think he is.

Haiti is a beautiful country with a history of independence.

except many people there are very poor and victims of violence and I don’t understand why we can’t help a few folks who just want a better life for their families.

Maybe Moreno is aware of the end date of their temporary VISA. They probably came here to check out America and want to return to the beautiful Haiti. Not everyone wants to live in America for life.
