Columnist David Marcus goes to Springfield, Ohio, where residents are fed up with the way the government has managed a massive refugee influx.
There is an old saying in the journalism business that goes, 'if it bleeds, it leads,' which means that once violence occurs a story gets much hotter. We can now add 'if it mews, it is news,' to the list of Fourth Estate expressions. I should tell you right at the top here that I am not going to solve the Mystery Of The Missing Pets.

Whatever the scale of the threat to our furry friends is, this salacious story has rightfully focused the nation’s eyes on Springfield’s otherwise ignored migrant and economic woes wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 'When I was young, there was a bar on every corner, we’d hear music at one place, another would be a disco,' Teri, a lifetime resident in her 60s who works at the only hotel in downtown Springfield told me. 'Today, it’s completely different.
Nobody I spoke with expressed any animosity towards the migrants themselves. As Yolanda, a black woman in her 30s who drives for Uber put it, 'It’s not their fault, they were told to come here, but the government needs to do more, a lot more.' Sadly, Vice President Kamala Harris seems to have no interest in these pleas. She let them in, but now they are the problem of the good people of Springfield. She and Biden, or whoever is running the country, have no plan.
talked it over with one guy in his 20s who has been in town working on crane maintenance, but lives in Minneapolis which has similar migrant issues. He summed it up about as well as possible, saying that immigrants need to be taught to 'tend the garden in a way that yields to the American way of life.' In Springfield, as in so many places across our nation, that is not happening, and both native-born Americans and the migrants are paying a very steep price.
