Meet the OTHER Springfield Occupied by Haitian Illegal Aliens
Charleroi, Pennsylvania is under siege from Kamala’s secret express lane for illegal aliens with no intention of assimilating
With all eyes on the 20,000 Haitians who’ve taken over Springfield, Ohio, the media is predictably paying little attention to another tiny town 200 miles east suffering the fallout from Kamala’s illegal alien pipeline.
Charleroi, Pennsylvania, is just 27 miles south of Pittsburgh, which is a key destination for thousands of Haitians and other migrants flooding in through the Harris regime’s not-so-temporary Temporary Protected Status program, which can keep parolees here for years.
Since Harris took office, Charleroi’s 4,200 residents have been inundated by some 2,000 Haitians who speak little-to-no English and have zero interest in assimilating into the American way of life. This feels like punishment to residents of Washington County, who voted overwhelmingly to reelect President Trump in 2020 and have loyally backed Republicans since 2008.
Now the Haitian population has skyrocketed by 2,000 percent, raising crime and poverty levels with it.
Charleroi, Pennsylvania is a working-class town of just over 4,000 people.

Over the past two years, their Haitian immigrant population has increased by 2,000%.

Charleroi schools are spending an extra $400,000 in 2023 to hire teachers, interpreters, and other staff to teach the migrant children English and anticipate spending another $300,000 in 2025, even as schools squeeze in 172 more students into its overcrowded classrooms.
Now as much as 75 percent of the local kindergarten is Haitian—and locals are stuck with the bill.
Charleroi, PA was a small town of 4,000 Americans. In just the last 2 years, they experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants.

Other footage allegedly shows Haitians being bused to and from food factories operated by Fourth Street Foods, a local grocery distributor which denies reports than 90 percent of its jobs have been given to Haitians. Regardless, the town recently experienced a massive 300-job layoff when Anchor Hocking, a glass plant, announced plans to shutter this year—threatening the livelihoods of those residents still just barely holding on.

Not Sending Their Best
And while the Harris regime expect those migrants to stay, the migrants themselves don’t expect to adopt Pennsylvanians’ values, beliefs, or traditions.
American 2100, a watchdog group, interviewed a lifelong resident of Charleroi who recently pulled his child out of school and is preparing to sell his home in the town he grew up in—that’s how bad the crisis has become.
“What I’ve seen since the influx started is . . . they have no interest in this culture. They’ve brought their culture here,” Tom explained. “They have their grocer[y stores], you know, and they have their storefronts. And the message is fairly clear . . . ‘This is for us.’”
“What I don’t believe [is] that argument that they had to bring that population here to save Charleroi has any validity,” he added, referencing the town’s economic decline under globalist policies of the past 3 decades that Trump’s vowed to fight. “We weren’t prepared for it, we don’t have the tax base for it. This is a town of 4,000 people hanging on the best they can. So whoever is responsible for putting them here—that is an act of negligence.”
“They should be held accountable,” Tom said. “What they’ve done here is despicable, and they don’t know that, because again, nobody cares about Charleroi, Pennsylvania.”
He’s right; the radical Left doesn’t give a damn about Charleroi, Springfield, or any other town suffering the effects of “progressive” policies. This is life in Kamala’s America. What will it look in 4 more years?
Charleroi, PA has been overwhelmed by Haitian immigrants.

Tom is a lifelong native. He had to pull his child out of the school. Now he's selling his home.
