(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):
“Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.
“Today’s decision is a legal decision. As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.
“As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.
“The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles.
“Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs.
“But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio.”

Mercer County Outlook 
This is what happens when the government imports thousands of people and places them all together in a small community. Then we find out that Somali immigrants, many here on TPS, have stolen Billions from the US taxpayers, which is why this push to send them back. How do they do that and expect people not to be pissed! Although they are here under a Temporary Protected Status (TPS), the government never intended their stay to be temporary, and that is the problem. If it is, by definition, temporary, then why isn’t it? If individuals have kept out of trouble with the law, kept their TPS status current, and are productive, then they can apply for citizenship.
My feeling is that the Trump Administration will go after the Somalis who defrauded the taxpayers before focusing on others.
