‘They’ve destroyed the place’: Trump repeats racist, anti-immigrant lies

Trump spews hate again toward Ohio's Haitian migrants, where residents are fearful over bomb threats and hate

Donald Trump repeated racist claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, on Friday, doubling down on anti-immigrant rhetoric as residents in the town have faced bomb threats and have detailed their fears amid harassment.

In Springfield, Ohio, 20,000 illegal migrant Haitians have descended upon a town of 58,000 people, destroying their way of life. They've destroyed the place," Trump said during a rambling press conference at his golf course in Los Angeles. People don't like to talk about it. Even the town doesn't like to talk about it, because it sounds so bad for the town. They live there ... for years it was a great place. Safe. Nice. Now they have 20,000 and I actually heard today it's 32,000."
