Haitian Migration in Springfield
A significant number of Haitian migrants have settled in Springfield, Ohio, with estimates ranging from 15,000 to over 20,000 individuals in a city of about 58,000. This influx is largely attributed to the search for employment opportunities, as temp agencies in the area seek affordable labor. Many Haitians moved from Florida to Ohio in response to changing political and economic conditions. While the migrants often face skepticism regarding their legal status, Biden's administration has granted many temporary protected status, complicating the local perception of their immigration status.
