[Breitbart] Are his glasses getting bigger, or his head smaller? I've got money on the latter...
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine
| …he’s one of those bright, accomplished, hard working country club Republicans who no longer fit the way the party has evolved, from the TEA Party movement to Donald Trump, but can’t abide what the Democrats have chosen to become. He didn’t vote for Trump in 2024, but he did vote for the Republican candidate. I can respect that… |
(R) is complaining that if President Donald Trump deports Haitian migrants whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will soon end, jobs will go "unfilled."
| People will come out of retirement and off unemployment to fill those jobs when the pay scale is increased to cover FICA and the other items seen on the paystub of legal employees. It’ll take a little while before employers come to terms with the fact that they will need to pay more upfront, but once they do they’ll realize that significantly lower worker turnover and the ability to read and follow directions in English will significantly reduce spending on overhead and waste. |
Last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that TPS will end for tens of thousands of Haitian migrants come February 2026 — leaving them with no legal status to remain in the U.S.
DHS officials are urging Haitians on TPS to self-deport before they are arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
DeWine, in an interview with local Ohio media, complained that DHS’s potentially deporting Haitian migrants — particularly from Springfield, Ohio, where the Haitian population has exploded — will open American jobs.
"Some of the economic progress that Springfield has made would go away," DeWine said, according to Cleveland.com:
"Employers tell me many of these, maybe most of these Haitians working there will no longer be legal," DeWine said. And once that happens, "you’re going to have a lot of unfilled jobs." [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported last year, a combination of TPS for Haitians, President Joe Biden’s mass migration agenda, and record levels of illegal immigration added anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 Haitian migrants to Springfield’s resident population.
| Which among other problems brought increased lawlessness and cats and dogs showing up on Haitian barbecues, if not in Springfield then nearby. |
