‘NO PLAN’: Ohio gov blames Biden-Harris admin for surging migrant crisis

AND YOU HAVE THIS BOOST IN IMMIGRANTS. BACK TO YOU SPEWING CHRISTINA THANK YOU VERY MUCH WITH THAT WE BRING AN OHIO REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE. GOVERNOR I'M LISTENING TO THESE INDIVIDUALS AND WE HAVE TO PUT UP A NO VACANCY SIGN WAS SET, WE KEPT ABSORBING AND MORE PEOPLE. THANK THE UNDERLYING THOUGHT THERE IS IT'S NOT THAT PEOPLE WANT -- WHAT -- DON'T WANT TO HELP PEOPLE ITS THAT ALL YOU'RE SERVICES ARE OVERWHELMED OUT OF THIS HAPPEN TO SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. WHAT'S HER EXPLANATION? >> MARTHA YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. PEOPLE ARE USED TO EXPECTANCE IMMIGRANTS COMING IN BUT YOU GAVE THE NUMBERS THE COMMUNITY 58,000 BLAST CENSUS 15,000 PEOPLE CAME IN ON TOP OF THAT. THAT'S A GENETIC CHANGE. WHEREVER THEY CAME FROM AND WHY DID THEY COME? THEY CAN FOR JOBS. WHEN YOU TALK TO EMPLOYERS AND PULLING THEM THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY ARE VERY HARD WORKERS. VARY FAMILY ORIENTED PERIOD ONE EMPLOYER SAID I WISH I COULD HIRE A HUNDRED OTHER ONES TO FILL THE JOBS THAT WE HAVE. SO THAT'S WHY THEY COMPARE BY DON'T THINK ANYBODY EXPECTED, YOU KNOW, THAT BIG OF A SURGE. BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED AS THEY ARE HERE UNDER A CLASSIFICATION. 16 COUNTRIES UNDER THIS CLASSIFICATION. WHEN THEY COME IN THEY CAN THAN APPLY FOR THAT AND THE REASON HAITI IS IN THERE IT'S BECAUSE IT'S AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT COUNTRY. THE GANGS ARE BASICALLY RUNNING THE COUNTRY IS SO THAT'S WHY THEY FLED HAITI. >> Martha: YOU SUPPORT THE PROGRAM DOES THE PROGRAM? YOU SUPPORT IT RIGHT? >> YES WE'VE ALWAYS HAD SOME PROGRAM LIKE IT. REMEMBER YOU DON'T REMEMBER BUT I DO WAY BACK IN THE 50s AND 60s WE DID THAT WITH CUBA WHEN CASTRO WAS THERE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH US BEING WELCOMING, BUT I THINK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS AN OBLIGATION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE OF SPRINGFIELD THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS DECISION. NO ONE IN OHIO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PEER BASICALLY PEOPLE WILL COME IN AND ARE GIVEN PAPERS THAN THEY CAN GO WHERE WERE THEY WANT TO. WHAT IS HAPPENED IS, IT HAPPENS MANY TIMES WITH IMMIGRANTS, THEY GO WHERE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE FROM THAT COUNTRY. BUT THIS IS BEING DRAMATIC. MY POINT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GIVE SPRINGFIELD SOMEHOW. THEY NEED TO GIVE OHIO SOME HELP. YOU KNOW, REPORTER PUNCHED OUT THE VERY ALL THE PROBLEMS PROBLEMS WITH PRIMARY CARE. 15,000 PEOPLE WHO CAME FROM A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE, HAS VIRTUALLY NO MEDICAL CARE AND IN THE PAST TWO YEARS HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE AS DOCTORS HAVE FLED HAITI. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THESE PEOPLE ARE IMMUNIZED, THAT THE CHILDREN ARE IMMUNIZED. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU WANT BUT I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, I UNDERSTAND THE BREAD AND THIS PUTS IN YOU AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A CHARITY IN HAITI IN THE NAME IS YOUR DAUGHTER WHO WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THAT IS GOOD WORK THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT BUT YOU HAVE SUPPORTED THIS PROGRAM OF TEMPORARY PROTECTION FOR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. BUT WHOSE FAULT IS IT? DO YOU BLAME THE BIDEN AND HARRIS ADMINISTRATION? FOR THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT DEALING WITH SOMETHING THAT'S TAKING AWAY THE LIVELIHOOD AND SAFETY OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, FOR GENERATIONS? >> YEAH, MARTHA I DON'T NECESSARILY SUPPORT THESE SPECIFICS OF THE PROGRAM BUT WHAT I SAID IS THE CONCEPT. OUT TO BE ON-SITE -- HONEST THE CONCEPT OF US HELPING PEOPLE IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES JUST EVEN STAYING THERE PEER WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT TO HER BUT WHAT I OBJECT TO IS THERE WAS NO PLAN TO GO WITH IT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FOR EXAMPLE PEOPLE CALLED REFUGEES AND IF THEY PLACE THEM SOMEWHERE, THE GOVERNMENT PUTS THE SUPPORT IN THERE. THEY HAVE A PLAN. THE PROBLEM HERE IS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PLAN AT ALL. WHEN THESE PEOPLE CAME IN. AND YES, I CERTAINLY BLAME THE ADMINISTRATION SPEW ON SO WHAT ARE THEY DOING FOR YOU? HAVE YOU BEEN -- I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. HAVE YOU COPRESIDENT BIDEN AND TALK TO HIM? >> LOOK I'VE TALKED TO THE WHITE HOUSE. ADMITTED VERY CLEAR THE SITUATION WE ARE IN. TOLD THEM WE ARE LOOKING SOME FEDERAL HELP. I TOLD HIM -- THEM THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT STREAMS OF FEDERAL DOLLARS COMING IN TO SEE IF WE CAN QUALIFY ABOUT WE WOULD LIKE SOME HELP. AND THEY SAID WE WOULD TRY TO HELP YOU. SO WE ARE IN A CONVERSATION BACK-AND-FORTH. MY POINT THOUGH IS THE GOVERNOR SHOULD HAVE TO DO THIS AND A MAYOR SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A DECISION MAID AT THE WHITE HOUSE LEVEL ABOUT HOW MANY COUNTRIES ARE ON THIS LIST AND WHO IS LED IN AND HOW THIS HAPPENS. SO WE REALLY NEED AN OVERALL PLAN. THIS WON'T BE THE LAST PLACE. >> Martha: AND WE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COLORADO AS WELL. AND I WATCHED STORIES ABOUT THIS ON OTHER CHANNELS. ALL THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS ON AND I'M SEEING WHAT ARONA SAYING. AND HOW, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE SAYING ITS ALL A BIG LIE AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG IN SPRINGFIELD. THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY PEER DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT? >> ABSOLUTE NOT. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A MASSIVE INCREASE IN POPULATION. AND WHETHER THEY ARE FROM HAITI ARE WHEREVER THEY'LL USE MORE CHALLENGES. THERE ARE MORE CHALLENGES FRANKLY BECAUSE IT COMES FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS NO MEDICAL CARE AND ALSO WHERE THE DRIVING HABITS AND DRIVING LAWS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT. ALL THE THINGS WE ARE DOING IS TO TRY AND WE'VE BROUGHT IN THE HIGHWAY PATROL BUT THIRD DAY TO TRY TO RUN TRAFFIC SO LOCAL POLICE CAN GO ABOUT THEIR NORMAL BUSINESS AND WE CAN HANDLE A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC. SO WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO BUT. >> Martha: AT THESE HAITIAN BACKBENDS ALLOWED TO DRIVE VEHICLES IN THIS TOWN? AND GET JOBS LICENSES? >> OHIO LAW SAYS IF YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE HERE LEGALLY WITCH THEY ARE, UNDER THIS PROGRAM HE ASKED, THAT YOU CAN GET A GYRE'S LICENSE. THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT ONCE YOU ARE 18 IN OHIO THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE COVERAGE TRAINING. >> Martha: WHAT DO YOU WANT NATIONAL GUARD NUMBERS TO DO? >> NOT THE GUARD BUT THE PATROL. THE PATROL MANDATE IS TO RUN TRAFFIC. WE DON'T HAVE A STATE POLICE AND OHIO BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE THE HIGHWAY PATROL IS VERY GOOD AND THEY RUN TRAFFIC. AGAIN WE WANT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE IN SPRINGFIELD SOME ASSURANCE THAT WE ARE WATCHING THE ROADS BECAUSE THERE'D BEEN REPORTS OF ERRATIC DRIVING AND THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE PEER IF I LIVED THERE HE WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO COME IN. >> Martha: ABSOLUTELY GOVERNOR AND I REALLY HOPE YOU GET SOME RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY SAY THIS PENALTY BE HANDLED IN CONGRESS AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH POWER THE WHITE HOUSE HAS WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES OF MIGRATION.
