Ohio Residents Say ‘Enough Is Enough’ After Illegal Alien Kills 11-Year-Old

Residents of Springfield, Ohio, gathered at a city council meeting last week to speak out against the increase of illegal aliens in their community after an illegal from Haiti crashed into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy.

Hermanio Joseph, a 35-year-old Haitian illegal alien, has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of 11-year-old Aiden Clark — who was killed on his way to his first day of school when Joseph drove into the school bus, causing it to overturn. Police reports show that Clark was killed after being ejected from the school bus.

Joseph’s bail has been increased to $150,000. The illegal alien suspect crossed the southern border in August 2022, where he was ultimately released into the U.S. interior with a Notice to Appear (NTA).

Springfield residents attended a city council meeting early last week to express their anger and concerns to local officials — with many speaking out about their outrage over the arrival of thousands of Haitian illegal aliens while Mayor Warren Copeland (D) tried to repeatedly interrupt them.

“I watched them come in on buses … I don’t know how they got them here and I don’t know who is responsible,” one woman said during the meeting. “Did we become a sanctuary city? The people want to know.”

“There are people who are here who are not native Springfielders … the disenfranchisement of people who were born here, have lived here, have raised their kids, have lived here for 30+ years, and I’m one of them, and we’re feeling disrespected,” the woman added.

While elected officials repeatedly insisted that Springfield was not a sanctuary city, many residents pushed back — demanding a ballot referendum to clarify that the city was not a sanctuary city.

Another woman spoke out during the meeting about her grandchildren, who were on the bus with Clark when he was killed.

“I’m not only here for [my grandchildren], I’m here for every child that was on that school bus,” the grandmother said, adding: “what are we going to do to stop this? … how many more children are going to have … to die or be hurt? My grandchildren will probably go through counseling for quite some time.”

“If it was your child … I would be pounding down the door saying ‘What are we doing?’ … it needs to be, if you break the law, you’re going back,” another woman said.

Multiple residents who spoke during the meeting also revealed that two other Haitian illegal aliens had been involved in crashes since the school bus crash.

“We have kids that live in our neighborhoods,” one man said, complaining that Haitian illegal aliens have been driving the wrong way down many streets in town on a daily basis. “Enough is enough.”
