During a campaign stop last week, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump cited the plight of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, which has been overrun by Haitian migrants brought in by the Biden-Harris administration.
“The small 4,000 person town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania has experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris — the schools are scrambling to hire translators for the influx of students who don’t speak English, costing local taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Trump noted.
The think tank America 2100 first revealed how the town’s population of Haitian migrants exploded over the past two years:
A Charleroi councilman told American 2100 that the migrants were delivered to the town with no funding from the feds.
It isn’t just Springfield. It’s happening everywhere.
In Charleroi, Pennsylvania—a low-income town of just 4,000—the immigrant population has increased by 2,000% over the past two years. And it’s almost all Haitians.

Zero Hedge cited one Carleroi resident as saying the town’s population is now one-half Haitian.

“In fact, the Haitians were dumped into the small town to work at several food-packing plants. These plants produce food items for the processed foods-industrial complex, which sells junk food in major big-box stores. The Haitians (and or other migrants) have displaced the native workers at Fourth Street Foods factories,” Zero Hedge noted.
One Charleroi resident exposed how the Haitians, as well as migrants from China and the Philippines, were dumped into the town to supply local food plants with cheap labor:
How is this not the biggest political talking point right now: since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs. pic.twitter.com/Z5HVWmQ24C
