Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) said President Trump’s policy on removing Temporary Protected Status for Haitians “is wrong” because of how it would impact the manufacturing economy in Springfield, Ohio.
“Springfield is an industrial city, manufacturing city that was down. It has been coming back. And frankly, one of the reasons it's coming back is because of the Haitians who are working there,” he said Friday. “These are people who, if you talk to the employers, they were filling jobs that were not being able to be filled in any other way.”
