The town of 58,000 is dealing with an influx of up to 20,000 Haitian migrants, which has stressed housing, health care, and school resources, as city officials admit.
The internet's been Springfield-wild all week, with rumors centering on Haitian migrants supposedly eating local pets or wild geese, despite the hard news brought on by the influx.
In addressing these tensions, locals express concern regarding migrants' safety and the challenges that arise, citing at least two fatalities related to traffic incidents involving migrants.
Trump's debate comments and the city's response have made the ongoing situation a legitimate national story, reflecting the broader complexities of migration policies.
