This week, an investigation is being conducted into the culmination of racist and false rumors targeting Haitian immigrants. The inquiry seeks to determine if the lies being circulated about migrants across the country are part of a broader strategy to propagate a more significant falsehood: that undocumented immigrants could influence the outcome of elections.
NPR’s immigration reporter, Jasmine Garsd, has provided insights from Springfield, Ohio, where Haitian immigrants have been employed to address labor shortages but have also been utilized as political scapegoats. The discussions with Parker delve into these issues and explore the broader implications.
