The third world used to be something Americans used as a measuring stick to hold against other cities or countries we visited or dealt with. When I would pull the newspapers back over a child sleeping in a doorway on the streets of Olongapo, that was "third world." 

When a couple of American Marines weren't sure if, going in with the first wave to Somalia, they could shoot their "African brothers." Their first whiff of Mogadishu and first encounter with life on the streets there soon made them realize they weren't related - that was the third world.

For sure, we have grinding poverty here, but there is someone always working to do something about it. There is always that American Dream, as elusive as it may be in some circumstances.

In the third world, class distinctions and brutalization keep people in endless cycles of poverty, violence, ignorance, and despair. Stealing food and fighting for supremacy over turf is the way of life. Survival is the way of life.

We used to be different. We could boast of civilizational norms.

We COULD. We USED TO.

What the SAM HELL is happening in this country thanks to Biden-HARRIS and progressives?

From Venezuelan gangs setting up their own little fiefdoms in the Denver suburbs...

...It deals with Aurora, Colorado, a much smaller bedroom community to the east of Denver. There was never any significant debate over the migrants in Aurora. They didn't want them, but the migrants began arriving in significant numbers without an invitation. Unfortunately for Aurora's residents, a significant number of the "new arrivals" were not there for a free bed and a few meals. They turned out to be members of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, and they set up shop in Aurora and immediately got to "work." (NY Post)

Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place.

Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime....

...to now reports of the unimaginable.

Port Au Prince has come to Ohio. And not just arrive - it brought its "cultural differences" with it.

AKA Third World.

Springfield is one of those tiny, pretty much nameless, faceless towns dotting the (what's now I-70) industrial corridor that stretched from Pittsburgh through Columbus to Dayton and on to Indianapolis, whose fortunes have ebbed with the flight of industry and commerce from the area. By 2014, Springfield had suffered the largest median income decline of any area in the country, and even as Ohio began to pull itself out of its manufacturing malaise, Springfield did not follow along.

The local population dropped below 60,000 residents as the town struggled to survive.

Some industries returned to the area, and this is where the "immigration" story begins. It has the city frantically backpedaling on a well-meaning but ultimately powerless "welcoming city" resolution they passed ten years ago as they find themselves at the mercy of loosened regulations regarding Haitians coming across the southern border.

4. Status extended by Feds

Most Haitians are here legally, making their way from a violent and gang-ruled island homeland to Mexico.

Katie Kersh, senior attorney with Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, said many Haitians coming here go to Mexico and get a CBP One, a mobile app that allows users to request appointments related to immigration. That allows them to be legally processed into the U.S. through what’s called the parole program. They then typically obtain Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, which allows them to temporarily stay in the country. Others may apply for asylum, which is evaluated based on a person’s individual situation and if they were persecuted or have a fear of persecution, or for both TPS and asylum.

How does that impact a tiny town in Ohio? Well, it seems some of the new "business owners" in town were privy to the feds looking for homes for the "newcomers," and they needed cheap labor, so without further ado, they volunteered Springfield.

Only, they didn't tell anyone IN Springfield some new folks were coming.

Immigrants from Haiti have poured into Springfield the last five years, and the estimates grow monthly, with city officials now saying the number could be 15,000 to 20,000 new residents among a population that had numbered just under 60,000 prior.

The number of immigrants has strained city government, health care, schools, social services and nonprofits trying to provide assistance.

...Mayor Rob Rue told residents at the last commission meeting the city did not know about the possibility of a large immigrant population coming but said a “network of businesses knew what was coming.”

He said the city’s Immigrant Accountability Response Team that formed last fall has discovered the possibility companies “knew they were going to make an effort to bring in individuals who were crossing the border.”

Rue said he was upset the city did not get a chance to plan for the immigrants.

“Springfield is now saturated,” he said.

The mayor's "upset" - UPSET - that the city didn't get a chance to plan for a damn near a third of their population arriving in what's basically overnight circumstances for tens of thousands of arrivals and most not speaking the king's English. I believe the excuse is that the council is concerned about jeopardizing future litigation.

Suddenly, the town is awash in the most foreign of foreigners, who have no place to stay and little to no regard for the locals who were blindsided by their arrival.

A recent city council meeting was, to put it politely, lit af.

Springfield, Ohio woman says homeless Haitians are trying to camp out on her front yard, says she “wants out of this town.”

“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard.”

...“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard.” 

“Look at me, I weigh 95 pounds. I couldn't defend myself if I had to. My husband is elderly.” 

“I don't understand what you expect of us as citizens. I understand they're here under temporary protected status and you're protecting them, and I understand that our city services are overwhelmed and understaffed, but who's protecting us?” 

“Who's protecting me? I want out of this town. I am sorry. Please give me a reason to stay.”

A resident told the members to take their suits down to the park and watch the Haitians decimate the ducks and geese there.

"Haitians are in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off, and eating them"

"...Pulling off of the highway to clean and gut the roadkill..."

HEARTBREAKING testimony from a Springfield, Ohio resident reflects on how the city she knew as a little girl has changed, now feeling overrun by Haitian immigrants who, she says, show little respect for American customs or culture.

The Haitians have also been accused of doing that to neighborhood pets.

Of course, there have been "hate crimes" committed against these "immigrants," which have all the usual suspects up in arms and warning of "racist extremists." One perpetrator was sentenced to 20 years for orchestrating attacks, but if you check out more about the story, you'll understand why he didn't get much coverage as a white supremacist.

The "diversity is our strength" crowd has been doing double-time trying to convince residents it's all good.

...'I think it's sad that some people are using this as an opportunity to spread hate or spread fear,' deputy director of public safety and operations Jason Via told NPR.

'We get these reports "the Haitians are killing ducks in a lot of our parks" or "the Haitians are eating vegetables right out of the aisle at the grocery store."

'And we haven't really seen any of that. It's really frustrating. As a community, it's not helpful as we try to move forward.'

Having filled empty homes, later arrivals also contributed to a housing crisis egged on by landlords prioritizing immigrants who would pay more, instead of low-income locals on government subsidies.

Bubbling tensions overflowed after a school bus crash caused by a Haitian immigrant veering into the wrong lane killed Aiden Clark, 11, on August 22 last year.

They're prioritizing getting the Haitians driver's licenses and such things even as they tell Springfield citizens to chill out.

It turns out J.D. Vance was looking for answers two months ago when he heard about a letter from Springfield's OBE (overcome by events) Mayor Rue.

...“A letter for the record from the City of Springfield in our state, the southwestern part of our state, which I think highlights a very real example of this particular concern, straight from the horse’s mouth itself. This letter, I want to quote from it: ‘Springfield has seen a surge in population through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing opportunities for all. Springfield’s Haitian population has increased 15 to 20,000 over the last four years in a community of under 60,000 previous residents, putting a significant strain on our resources and ability to provide ample housing for all of our residents.’ End quote there.

“In my conversations with folks in Springfield, it’s not just housing. They’re trying to build 5000 new housing units, which is a very Herculean task in a town of about 55,000 people, but it’s also hospital services, it’s school services. There are a whole host of ways in which this immigration problem, I think, is having very real human consequences.”

Most of the news reports I've seen are pretty dismissive of Springfield residents and their complaints.

...Then the woman addressed the city officials directly, saying: 'I don't know what you expect of us as citizens.'

'I understand that they are here under temporary protective status and you are protecting them,' she continued. 

'Who's protecting us if we're protecting them?' she asked. 

...The Haitians had social security numbers and job permits, paid taxes, and lived in houses that were empty and boarded up as the town shrank. 

However, their arrival put a strain on medical services and the education system. 

...Others falsely claimed the Haitian immigrants brought drugs, crimes, shoplifting, and disease with them - all refuted by city officials.

Springfield Police also dismissed claims the immigrants caused trouble, saying property crime was only up in line with national trends.

Aurora cops and officials were doing that, too, weren't they?

The Third World measuring stick must be returned for usage outside our shores.

It was never meant for the town next door.

We do not owe the world our country. Removing Harris from power and as many of these border crossers as she's let in is a moral imperative.

More so every day.

BEEGE UPDATE: I thought this might illuminate how so many came so quickly as well as the businesses involved.

So they pushed forward a Humanitarian Parole Program that allowed 30k migrants per month to come in from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.

While some of these migrants have criminal backgrounds, nearly all are dependent on taxpayer funded programs.

Furthermore they did not say if they would prosecute the sponsors who lied to bring over 100k migrants who had no right to come to the U.S.

One big scam the whole way around. No one ever pays for it but the Americans living in these small places.

They lose their hometowns.
