A small town in Ohio, Springfield, has experienced a significant demographic shift with the influx of 15,000 to 20,000 migrants from Haiti, primarily attracted by job opportunities. This migration is part of a larger trend influenced by established family networks. Despite political claims labeling these individuals as illegal migrants, most Haitians hold temporary work rights, social security cards, and contribute to local taxes and benefits. The magnitude of this population change raises important questions about community adaptation and resource allocation.
