KALIYAH LIVE FOR US THERE ON CAPITOL HILL. JOE, THANK YOU. ONE OF THE MORE DRAMATIC CLAIMS FROM LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE CAME FROM FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CLAIMING MIGRANTS ARE STEALING AND EATING PETS IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. >> THE STATEMENT QUICKLY FACT CHECKED BY MODERATOR DAVID MUIR. IN SPRINGFIELD. >> THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS. THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN THERE EATING THE CATCH THEY'RE THEY'RE EATING THE PETS OF F TH PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY HERE. YOUR BIG UPS SPRINGFIELD, OHIO AND ABC NEWS DID REACH OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER THERE. HE TOLD US THERE HAVE BEEN NO CREDIBLE REPORTS OF SPECIFIC CLAIMS OF PETS BEING HARMED, INJURED OR ABUSED BY INDIVIDUALS. >> WITHIN THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. PEOPLE INTEL. LET ME JUST SAY HERE. THIS IS THE PEOPLE INTELLIGENCE OR MY DOG WAS TAKEN AND. >> USED FOR FOOD SO MAYBE HE SAID THAT AND MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD THING TO SAY FOR CITY MANAGER. I'M NOT TAKING THIS FROM A A MAN WAS EATEN BY THE PEOPLE THAT WENT AGAIN, SPRINGFIELD CITY MANAGER SAYS THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THAT PLACEMENT >> ALL RIGHT. SO WHILE THE CLAIMS ABOUT MIGRANTS EATING PETS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBSTANTIATED. THE INFLUX OF HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS TO THE CITY IS INDEED TRUE. SOME 15,000 HAITIANS HAVE ARRIVED IN THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD SINCE 2020 AND A LOT OF RESIDENTS THERE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. SO LET'S BRING IN OUR RICH MCHUGH. HE IS LIVE FOR US IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. WHICH YOU'VE BEEN THERE. YOU'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING ON THE GROUND THERE IN SPRINGFIELD. >> I CALL THIS. THE PICTURE IS DIVIDED DEPENDING ON WHO YOU TALK TO, WHAT WHAT SLICE OF RESIDENTS YOU TALK TO HERE. WE'RE IN FRONT OF THE OHIO DEPARTMENT JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES WERE HERE IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. WE'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 9 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. THERE'S A STEADY STREAM OF HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS COME IN ALMOST PREDOMINANTLY. THAT'S THAT'S ENTIRELY. WE SEE WE TRIED TO SPEAK TO THEM. NOBODY IS AGREED. LARGELY. THEY SAY THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. BUT THE OTHER RESIDENTS THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO, THEY'RE ANGRY. THEY SAY, AND THEY ESTIMATED HIGHER. THEY SAY IT'S UPWARDS OF 20,000 IMMIGRANTS SINCE 20 SINCE 2020. THEY SAY THAT STRESS HEALTHCARE. >> SCHOOLS, THE NUMBER OF AUTO ACCIDENTS HAS SKYROCKETED. BUT THERE ARE 2 SIDES EVERY STORY HERE. RESIDENTS SPOKE AT A TOWN COUNCIL LAST NIGHT AND WE PUT TOGETHER 2 SOUND BITES. YOU'RE GOING HEAR BASICALLY THE STORY INTO DIFFERENT SOUND BITES. >> IS A CUTOFF POINT? YOU THAT MEAN POPULATION HERE OR I I FEEL IF FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A NO VACANCY SIGN UP RIGHT NOW AND PEOPLE ARE STILL COMING IN WHEN HE WAS GOING CUT OFF POINT. LET'S BE CLEAR. THERE IS A PRECONCEIVED NOTION THAT ALL THE HAITIANS HERE IN SPRINGFIELD ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. >> WHICH IS FULL. SOME OF US ARE HAITIAN AMERICAN CITIZEN CAN VOTE. WE ARE GREEN CARD HOLDERS AND SOME OF ARE HERE. FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS US TO HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION THAT ALLOWS US. SO 10 FOR EVERY LEE. STAY IN THE COUNTRY. >> NICOLE, OBVIOUSLY 2 VERY DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS. WE'RE HEARING MORE OF THE FORMER. BUT CERTAINLY THERE WERE TOLD THERE ARE THERE ARE A LOT OF USE REPRESENTING THE LATTER THAT MAKE SENSE. ALL RIGHT. SO SO RICH, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT SO MANY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW ARE PEOPLE IN SPRINGFIELD. >> RESPONDING TO THESE CLAIMS OF MIGRANTS EATING PETS. >> I THINK THE MAIN WAY TO CHARACTERIZE IT. THEY'RE SAYING LOOK, THIS IS THIS IS OVERBLOWN. THIS ISN'T THE REAL ISSUE HERE. I'VE ASKED SOME OF THEM. BUT IS IT IS IT A NON-ISSUE AS THE CITY SAYS, 1 GENTLEMAN THIS MORNING TOLD ME NO, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL OR THE TOWN OFFICIALS SAID THERE THEY SAID THERE'S NO CREDIBLE REPORTS. THERE HAS BEEN A 9-1-1, CALL RECENTLY AND THERE IS A POLICE REPORT PUBLICS. WE'RE TRYING TO GET. BUT I WANT TO PLAY SOME ON THIS VERY TOPIC, WHICH ALSO REPRESENTS BOTH OF THESE DIFFERING VIEWPOINTS WAS A RESIDENT COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT. AND THEN I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE MAYOR BACK-TO-BACK. TAKE A LOOK. >> IN THE PARK. I'VE DUCKS. BUT A NECK AND CUT HEAD OFF AND WALKING OFF LITTLE 8. UNLIKE PRESIDENT ACCOUNT, CLARK COUNTY COMMISSION AND I HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO ADDRESS RECENT RUMORS BEEN CIRCULATING RELATIVE TO THE HAITIAN COMMUNITY. WE WISH TO CLARIFY THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY CREDIBLE REPORT.
