In the latest episode of “What Could Go Wrong?” the spotlight shines on Springfield, Ohio, where the former President pointed out that the small city’s troubles are largely the handiwork of the Biden-Harris administration. Over the last few years, Springfield has seen a massive influx of Haitian migrants—an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 newcomers—gobbling up resources in a town that can barely keep its head above water with a population of fewer than 60,000. It appears that the administration’s policies have turned a quaint American town into a mini case study of government mismanagement.
Recently, a cadre of Ohio Republican congressmen decided enough was enough. They’ve drafted a series of letters penned to key members of the Biden cabinet, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. These lawmakers are demanding immediate federal assistance to tackle the mess created by the current administration’s open-door policies. It’s like they opened a floodgate without considering that it might drown a few towns along the way.
Every single person needs to listen to this. She is reading a letter from an Ohio state representative about what is happening in Springfield.

The strain on local resources is glaring. Law enforcement is reportedly grappling with increased crime and a spate of traffic accidents, all while dealing with the challenges that come with an influx of new residents who may or may not understand the local laws. Schools are bursting at the seams from the sudden population growth, and they’re being asked to manage the influx of students who may not speak a word of English. Healthcare facilities, too, are on the brink, inundated with patients who lack basic vaccinations and past medical records. Sounds like a perfect storm, courtesy of federal policy.
The letters underscore one clear message: the ramifications of these policies are not just theoretical debates on a cable news channel—they have real, tangible consequences for average Americans living in places like Springfield. The GOP lawmakers are not just throwing spaghetti at a wall; they are calling for specific federal grants to help bolster law enforcement, healthcare, and education in their beleaguered town. They have placed the ball firmly in the court of the Biden administration.
Despite the urgency of the matter, the White House has remained as silent as a mime in a library, opting not to respond to the growing calls for help. One can only imagine what might be going through the minds of Biden and his team. Do they honestly believe that ignoring these letters will make the issues vanish? The citizens of Springfield are not going to forget that they are standing in the middle of a federally induced storm, no matter how many times the administration prefers to sweep it under the rug.
As this saga unfolds, it becomes apparent that showcasing the consequences of ill-conceived policies is not just a political strategy—it’s a necessity. Conservative lawmakers are stepping up to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable for its actions. When the dust settles, it will be interesting to see who takes the blame when the federal remedy never arrives. After all, in the grand game of political bingo, Springfield has quickly become one of the biggest squares marked “federal failure.”
