us updated on the whereabouts of President Joe Biden. We do appreciate it. Our coverage heads now to Cincinnati, Ohio. Just outside there, you'll find the city of Springfield, which has now been in the National spotlight. Residents wages have declined, while the monthly rent prices have surged. Some local residents are blaming an influx of Haitian migrants. Governor Mike DeWine says about 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020. Our correspondent Christina Thompson reports on the community impact. May 2022 prices nationally jumped nearly 10% from a year earlier. The inflation crisis hit Springfiel, Ohio, especially hard. I've never used the food banks before. I didn't have to. I felt you know, I leave it for people that needed it more. But now I really almost have to come. As food prices are higher, as more people are in need of our services, we're seeing decreases in some places that are really impacting us too. Like decreased donations. Inflation is still a big problem. The latest report out this week showed consumer prices are still surging. Housing costs are still especially hot. So are you worried at all about the tick up that we saw in some of these key measures that we watched core inflation, super core inflation, shelter inflation. It's supposed to be going the other way. Indeed, rents are accelerating even faster in Springfield than the rest of the U.S. part of the widely reported reason the surge of new Haitian migrants pushing up demand for apartments. And then there's unemployment still ticking up in Springfield amid all this benefit rolls for federally funded programs like Medicaid have surged as well. 8000 Haitians qualify for Medicaid, according to Clark County, Ohio. Somewhere between 12 and 20,000 Haitians have come there in just the past few years. Some local residents are speaking out. I just feel like if they're going to give this much benefits and support to foreigners, it should be the same as for ones that are here, living here, fighting for the country. Out of 205,000 Haitians allowed in under a Biden administration parole program before it was suspended last month, fed up local townspeople aired their frustrations at a city council meeting. This is about people being given the privilege of coming here from another country and having no respect for our people, our land or our life's work. I see a group of Haitian people. There was about four of them. They all had geese in their hand. The Clark County Sheriff's Office tells Newsmax there was one and only one police report filed about Haitians taking geese that went unverified. These rumors will not distract us from addressing the real strain on our resources, including the impact to our schools, health care system and first responders. But it's concerns about the strains put on a small city already struggling to get by from rampant inflation. That will echo beyond the lurid claims made by some locals
