Communities seeing influx of migrants facing real hurdles beyond ‘eating cats and dogs’

Several cities across the country have been forced into the spotlight over publicized problems caused by surging immigration. While debunked theories have gone viral, deeper problems have immigration groups and elected officials worried.

Springfield, Ohio, is one such town. A spokesman from Gov. Mike DeWine’s (R-OH) office put his estimate of Haitian immigrants living in the city at 15,000, accounting for roughly a quarter of the town’s population.
