D. Trump: immigrants eat American cats

Haitian immigrants attack local American cats out of bestial hunger

While the laity go about their work, some Americans complain that immigrants are living in their backyards, unable to fit into their shelters. They are not only usurping their yards, but they are also roasting their cats on a bonfire. Indeed, there are growing fears that Haitian immigrants are attacking local American pets; that they are eating the cats - without even hiding it^[1].

Just last month, for example, a 27-year-old woman was arrested in Ohio for fatally trampling a cat and eating it in front of several people. Some people stood up for this nation and claimed that the woman had been mistakenly described as a 'Haitian'; the incident actually took place somewhere else, in Canton, Ohio, some 273 km from Springfield^[2]. However, in a city of around 60,000 inhabitants, which has received between 15,000 and 20,000 migrants in the last four years, many of them from Haiti, a country associated with mountains of rubbish, people tend to expect almost anything.

As in most situations, there are several camps. However, because of the widespread acceptance of immigrants' actions, stereotypes about immigrants behaving badly are becoming part of today's reality^[3]. This is also evidenced by President Donald Trump, who took part in Tuesday night's debate and said that immigrants eat people's pets. Immigrants have been accused of eating cats and dogs for some time now, especially in the wake of the existing housing crisis. In addition, several videos are circulating on the Internet, lighting up such rumors like wildfire^[4].

"They eat dogs, the people who came, they eat cats. They are eating the pets of the people who live there, and this is happening in our country, and it is shameful," said Trump in response to a question about immigration. As a result, the presidential candidate is often portrayed on social networks as the great saviour of kittens and ducklings.

D. Trump has also compared immigrants to Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. However, many people feel that the hostile rhetoric used by Republicans today to discuss immigration is somewhat reminiscent of that used against Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century when the nation's representatives targeted them. On the other hand, there are good reasons for this rhetoric this time.

For example, what would you say about Europe in 2020 putting a cat freshly roasted in the street on the table? An incident four years ago in Italy.

While some sympathize with the plight of immigrants, images of newcomers crossing ducks' heads are no longer just an immigration issue. While witnessing the horrific images, locals say that bloodthirsty acts are also found throughout Springfield and other cities. Finally, there are more aspects of cultural degradation to this turmoil, with tolerance allegedly leading to even more crime^[5]. 

What people fear most is that the sanctuary for immigrants will only get progressively larger while the natives lose their security and the government that represents them.

In March, articles appeared on the prevalence of cannibalism in Haiti

After seeing the frightening images, Americans hardly talk about promoting the adoption of Ohio State kittens; the staging of poaching is becoming a more important phenomenon. Although some laymen try to justify them by saying that cultures have their own mechanisms of functioning, survival, and habits and need time to adapt, assimilation begins after legal entry into the country.

Despite claims by local officials that there is no evidence of Haitian immigrants killing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, local people are worried. They believe that a mass invasion comes at a price.

In addition to the constant talk of pets being eaten, articles appeared in March claiming that cannibalism is also rampant in Haiti^[6]. The information was mainly based on several videos, two allegedly filmed in different countries. The third is not in doubt, nor are the specific tendencies of this person and the similar images seen on the streets of New York.

D. Trump's campaign has promised the largest mass deportation operation in US history

The United States is the single largest donor of humanitarian aid to Haiti, with approximately $146 to USAID since 2023. 

However, it has recently decided to suspend one of its controversial immigration programmes after an internal report revealed fraud. Until then, the CHNV program allowed 30 000 citizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela per month, as well as their immediate family members, to immigrate to the US^[7].

In the context of current events, the Trump campaign, for its part, was quick to promise "the largest mass deportation operation in US history"^[8] in a letter to supporters. The statement has shocked the citizens in favor of this initiative, with over 11 million views of the latter's post: "In Springfield, they eat dogs. The people who came are eating cats. They are eating the pets of the people who live there." 

Although it is thought that it may be a series from a faulty phone, 'the caller said he saw four Haitians carrying four geese', immigration is shrouded by the many dark faces of this phenomenon as the yolks in the bag begin to creep over the edges.
