No, actually Trump WON the debate. Because he lied about pets getting eaten. Masterful strategy.

Yeah he calls (racism) directionally correct in terms of immigration risk.
Some people are citing the 15,000-20,000 Haitian Immigrant influx to Springfield Ohio (formerly 60,000 total population) as a cause for crimerate increase when the city actually had 146% higher crimerate than the US Average BEFORE the immigration influx and city officials have said there has been NO INCREASE (it might have even gone down but we won't know until the 2024 index is published).
The woman who first shared the pet-eating hoax has apologized and said she was mistaken. Another user who posted a bodycam footage has been debunked as a completely different location and not a Haitan at all but a lifelong resident of Canton.
But they don't care. They think Racism was correct. They don't care about pets or children or crime statistics, they care about Racism.
Did you say the population if the town grew by 30%ish and it was entirely Haitians? That's odd. Why that small town out of all the other options?
QAA did a look into it, apparently they tried to open a bunch of new factories there and were only able to fill positions by pulling in immigrants.
I'm also pretty intrigued by that. Supposedly the city was in decline until the migration boom.
