For Jamie McGregor, a businessman in Springfield, Ohio, speaking favorably about the Haitian immigrants he employs has come to this: death threats, a lockdown at his company and posters around town branding him a traitor for hiring immigrants.
I have struggled with the fact that now we're going to have firearms in our house like, what the hell? said Mr. McGregor, who runs McGregor Metal... and now we're taking classes, we're going to shooting ranges, we're being fitted for handguns.
Mr. McGregor prides himself for having among his employees people who were hired by his grandfather when he was a toddler. When he was struggling a few years ago... he began hiring Haitians who had recently settled in Springfield.
Among them is Wilford Renvil, who has operated a mechanical press since 2021. He fled Haiti, where he had a white-collar job at a telecommunications company, after bandits took control of his town and went on killing sprees.
