Small Indiana City Facing Consequences of Migrants
One of the rising narratives we are seeing around the country regarding Biden’s immigration plan is the impact migrants are having in small towns.
The latest to come forward are residents of Logansport, Indiana.
According to reports, the city is now stuffed to the gills and children are even being pushed out of school to accommodate migrants.
Bursting at the Seams
Logansport has a population of less than 20,000 and is reminiscent of the small towns you see featured in old TV shows.
Everyone knows everyone, and the city stays the same year after year, and residents like it that way.
Well, when Joe Biden started allowing millions of migrants into the country, Logansport was one of the cities where migrants were sent.
Now, there are thousands of migrants from countries like Haiti that have flooded the city, and a significant toll has been taken.
Candice Espinoza, 32, has seen and heard enough, saying that her message to presidential candidates would be, “Do something. Our community cannot withstand this many people being here.”
According to local officials, they believe the city has seen about a 30% increase in population since 2020, a shocking number.
Logansport Mayor Chris Martin, a Republican, believes there have been roughly 3,000 Haitian migrants alone that have been relocated here.
Nancy Baker, 44, a mother of two, is frustrated that her children are not being properly educated because teachers are spending more time with non-English speaking students.
It has gotten so bad, her teenage daughter dropped out of school.
Baker stated, “There were way too many kids and it seemed to her that since they didn’t speak the language, or didn’t understand what was going on, they were getting more attention.
“And so she and the other kids who grew up here who were having issues or struggling in certain things weren’t able to get the attention that they needed — the help they needed from the school.”
Her daughter now takes online classes at home.
Locals have further stated they just don’t feel safe walking around the city, especially at night, as many of the migrants make inappropriate comments or just sit and stare at the locals.
Martin has also asked everyone to stop playing politics with his city, stating, “Simply put: Stop playing politics with the smaller communities. We don’t like this. We don’t appreciate this.
“We would rather you do your job and actually do something instead of talking about this.”
This country has clearly hit its breaking point, but if Democrats get elected, they have made it quite clear they will continue to allow more migrants into the country.
There is only one way to stop this, and that is to defeat Democrats not only in the presidential election but also in the House and Senate so the GOP can pass laws to ensure this never happens again.
