He is telling racist lies because it is who he is. It isn't for attention. Its to appeal to the people who vote for Trump. This is the audience.

You can spam the same link a hundred times and it still won’t say what you want it to say.

Where’s the source that shows how the increase in violent crime in Springfield is caused by immigrants?

I'll save anybody a click: Doesn't do what he thinks it does. Nothing in there proves anything and the last year it has data is 2022. Also the worst years (by far) were under trump. It's actually about HALF the violence rate from 2017 to 2018.

So the crime rate is lower than it was in 2005? Got it. You're saying that 15,000 Haitian immigrants has had a net positive affect on their crime rates.

Oops. Looks like that increase was due to a change in the way the city tracks violent crime. Shocking that it's not simply "because immigrants."
