Ohio’s Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno blasted his state’s governor, Republican Mike DeWine, for the governor’s support of the thousands of Haitian migrants Joe Biden imported into the state as the Trump administration moves to revoke their temporary protected immigration status.
DeWine went on left-wing CNN and attacked the Trump administration for working to revoke the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of some 300,000 economic migrants from Haiti, thousands of whom flooded into the Buckeye State during the Biden years. On CNN, DeWine insisted that the Haitians have been an integral part of Ohio communities.
“It is not in the United States’s interest, certainly not in Ohio’s interest,” DeWine told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing, and yank them out!”
DeWine painted a picture of Haitians who are important and contributing greatly to America and Ohio both.
But Sen. Moreno begged to disagree. In fact, Moreno said that these thousands of Haitians are a net drag on Ohio, and not a boon to the state’s economy at all.
Moreno said that housing has become more expensive because of all these migrants, that car accidents have soared, and that these Haitians are sucking up billions in welfare that should be going to Ohioans, not economic migrants.
