JD Vance talks about Springfield, Ohio immigration claims

well Dana first of all what's putting the residents of Springfield at risk which was a town completely ignored by the American Media until Donald Trump and I started surfacing some of these concerns is that they can't afford housing they can't afford health care the schools have been overwhelmed the hospitals have been overwhelmed and they're overwhelmed because kamla Harris allowed 20,000 Haitian migrants to get dropped into a small Ohio town of about 40,000 people and it's completely overwhelmed the services now you ask why have I talked about some of the things that I've been talking about let me just say this uh my constituents have brought approximately a dozen separate concerns to me 10 of them are verifiable and confirmable and a couple of them I talk about because my constituents are telling me firsthand that they're seeing these things so I I have two options Dana I can ignore them which is what the American Media has done for years to this community or I can actually talk about what people are telling me and of course many of the things that the media says are completely baseless have since been confirmed for example I was told Dana that the American Med by the American Media that it was baseless that migrants were capturing the geese from the local Park pond and eating them and yet there are 911 calls from well before this ever became a viral sensation of people complaining about that exact thing happening so my attitude is listen to my constituents sometimes they're going to say things that people don't like but they're saying things that people don't like because because their town has been overwhelmed and it's my job to try to fight for them and to protect them kamla Harris opened the border and now these people are suffering that's what I'm focused on Dana e e Dana first of all let me just respond to to a couple things that you said but I want to start with something you said which I think is frankly disgusting and is more appropriate for a democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist there is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals these hospitals the bomb threats and so forth it's disgusting the violence is disgusting we condemn it we condemn all violence and threats of violence but to say no no Dana no Dana to say Dana no you asked you you asked a question Dana and I'm going to go ahead and answer it what we said what we have said is that this town has suffered terribly under the pro under the policies of kamla Harris now you just accused me of inciting violence against the community when all that I've done is surface the complaints of my constitues people who are suffering because of kamla Harris's Poli policies are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence we can condemn the violence on the one hand but also talk about the terrible consequences of KLA Harris's open border on the other hand now let me just fact check a couple of other things that you said Dan because it's important you said that all of these migrants are in the country legally they are in the country through what's called temporary protective status that is when kamla Harris waved a magic amnesty wand taking people and giving them legal status that is not a that is not to say that they're here legally that is a terrible indictment of her amnesty policies that have further opened the border and further caused terrible migration into this country no Dana the point is Dana the no no no Dana I I you you you you made a point you don't I I I agree you don't want to talk about policy Dana which is why you're talking about utter distractions instead of about the fact that Kamala Harris Dana granted amnesty at a mass level she granted amnesty at a mass level Dana my constituents were the ones who talked about eating dog and cats and I talked about it because you were ignoring this community my constituents talked about it and it is my responsibility to surface their concerns when the American Media ignores it Dana I've been to Springfield probably a hundred times in my life I've taken my children to get ice cream at Young's Jersey Dairy have have I been in the last have I been in the last four days no I haven't been in the last four days but I've talked to a lot of people in Springfield Dana and they're telling me this stuff is happening Dana would you like to ask me questions and then let me answer them or would you like to debate me uh on on these topics I noticed that when you had kamla Harris and Tim Waltz you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that you asked and you allow them to answer the questions I'm happy to hear to be here to talk about policy but if you're going to interrupt me every single time that I open my mouth then why am I even doing this so please ask a question and I'd ask you to be polite enough to let me answer it e e
