During a Thursday town hall event, one resident of Springfield, Ohio, told a terrifying story of her daughter being attacked by an illegal alien and police refusing to respond.
Under the leadership of President Joe Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris, the population of Springfield increased by an estimated 25% — not because of opportunity but because the Biden-Harris administration decided to flood the small town with Haitian illegal aliens. This invasion of foreigners led to deaths, daily car crashes, skyrocketing crime, and surging insurance rates.
NEW: 1,200 miles away from the southern border, a small Ohio town is battling a surge of Haitian illegal aliens.
Springfield, with a population of 58,000, was overwhelmed by 20,000 migrants.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy held a town hall in Springfield on Thursday to hear from residents about the problems plaguing their town.
“There simply are too many mass migrants here in this town, and they’re too richly subsidized. It’s pushing people out of their homes. It’s pushing people out of their jobs,” one resident said during the event.
“We are at a level of desperation,” another resident explained. “We have been put down and called racists, not only in print but also to our faces at city commission meetings.”
One resident had a shocking story to tell — revealing that her daughter had been chased by a man with a machete while on her way to work, but police never responded to her call to report the crime.
“She was chased by a man with a machete on her way to work,” the frustrated mother recalled. “[She] called the police. She told them what had happened and wanted to file a report. Two hours later, the police still had not called her back and never checked on the crime.”
Ramaswamy invited Springfield Mayor Rob Rue to attend the meeting to listen to the concerns of his constituents, but he refused to show up. According to one of the town hall attendees, members of the city council also refused to attend.
“I’ve been a resident Springfield, Clark County for 61 years, [and] if our City Council and everybody wants to be a part of the solution – I’ve been sitting right there by the door, I haven’t seen a single one of them,” the resident said.

The mayor issued a weak statement rather than attending the meeting, writing: “We are addressing these threats with the seriousness they warrant and are taking immediate steps to ensure the security of both our community and our employees. Our commitment to preventing harm is unwavering.”
