Sherrod Brown -who is paying for all of this

To the editor:

Again and again, Brown has voted against deportations, border wall funding, and mandatory minimums for migrants here illegally. He votes in lockstep with DC Democrats to create this border invasion and fentanyl surge.

Take Springfield. Haitian immigrants have come to this country under the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) program. Forgetting all the missing pet talk, the real issue is dealing with 15,000 newcomers in a community the size of Springfield without them taking factor jobs, driving up housing costs, worsening traffic and straining city services. “It’s also causing sharp increases in rent and home prices, forcing people out of their homes,” According to Bill Monaghan, a former Springfield journalist.

According to Kevin Lynn who writes about the nonimmigrant employment visa system, residences face a new threat to their livelihood, domestic workers being replaced by hiring newly-arrived immigrants under TPS. Coming from Haiti a country where the hourly wage is around 60 cents these workers are ecstatic working in Ohio where the minimum wage is $10.45

Lynn states, the U.S. Government funnels taxpayer money to non-government organizations (NGO) who help resettle immigrants and assist them in applying for food stamps, Medicaid and housing.

In Marth 2024, Sherrod Brown joined other Senate Democrats in voting down an amendment to prohibited Biden from putting migrants on charter flights at the taxpayers’ expense settling them throughout the country in cities like Springfield, Ohio

March 2024 Brown voted against an amendment aimed at ensuring that illegal immigrants are not counted in the census which determines congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes. The measure died in the Democratic Senate.

August 2022, Brown voted against an amendment to send $500 million to the Border Patrol to detect drugs at the border providing funds needed to install hundreds of millions of unused fentanyl scanning equipment. The amendment failed.

March 2021, Brown voted against an amendment sending $300 million in COVID funds to CBP for narcotic and opioid detection. It failed the Senate 48-50.

May 2019, Brown originally co-sponsored the End Mass Deportation Act rescinding a Trump executive order prioritizing the removal of some criminal illegal immigrants and allowed DHS to withhold federal funds from sanctuary jurisdictions.

The TPC, while under normal circumstances may be a great tool for helping others less fortunate, but considering the millions of other we’ve let into the country, THE BIG QUESTION IS WHO PAYS FOR THIS?
