Small Indiana Town Overwhelmed by Migrant Crisis

Springfield, Charleroi, and Now Logansport

Springfield, Ohio, Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and now Logansport, Indiana, are all small towns that have experienced a significant increase in Haitian migrants. The Secretary of Homeland Security has granted these migrants Temporary Protected Status. These individuals are being relocated to towns with factories, replacing thousands of native-born workers in a phenomenon referred to as the 'Great Job Replacement.'

Logansport's Population Surge

According to the Mercer County Outlook, a local news outlet, the small town of Logansport, situated about 78 miles north of Indianapolis, has seen a 30% population increase since 2021. This surge coincides with VP Kalama Harris's appointment as 'Border Czar.' The town, which had a population of just over 18,000 as per the last census, has seen an increase of roughly 5,400 residents. This influx has put a strain on local resources, including the school system.

Migrants and the Local Economy

One Haitian migrant in Logansport explained that he was drawn to the town because of the Tyson meatpacking plant. While the migrant suggested that the Tyson plant offers "good money," it appears that the wages are not satisfactory for native-born workers. Tyson has been collaborating with NGOs to replace its US labor workforce with migrants, a move that has been criticized in various reports.

Political Response to the Migrant Crisis

US Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) expressed his concern about the migrant crisis in Logansport. He pointed out that an estimated 5,000 Haitian migrants have been relocated to Logansport, a town of 18,000 people, in just two years. He argued that such rapid change is unsustainable for a small community and blamed the CHNV program and parole abuses of the Biden and Kamala administration for the situation.

The Migrant Crisis Beyond Logansport

Journalist Christopher Rufo conducted an investigation into how 2,000 Haitian migrants arrived in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. He concluded that there was a collaboration between the federal government, publicly funded NGOs, and private corporations. Similar situations have been reported in Springfield, Ohio, and Colorado. There are indications that this could be a nationwide issue.

The 'Great Job Replacement'

Since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs, while foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs. This trend, referred to as the 'Great Job Replacement,' appears to be well underway. Critics argue that this is not an 'America First' policy but rather a globalist open border corporate profits first approach.

Bottom Line

The influx of migrants into small towns like Logansport, Indiana, is causing significant strain on local resources and changing the job market. This situation raises important questions about immigration policy, economic sustainability, and the future of small towns across America. What are your thoughts on this issue?
