That was not known at the time.  It was not really fact checked much until
after it was mentioned at the debate.

*If* that is the case, then he is lying now... or he needs to fire whoever
keeps giving him the information.

They are there legally in the sense that they were granted Temporary
Protective Status.  Protected from what, aside from deportation for not
initially arriving legally, I am not sure.  Not sure who granted that
status, either, although Kamala Harris did brag about being responsible
during an interview.

As for "Springfield invited them," I linked a story here from back when
they started arriving.  The Mayor stated that the city had nothing to do
with them being relocated there so, no, the city did not "invite" them.  I
have also linked a more-recent article where, while stating the animal
consuption issue was false, the Mayor stated they are having several
issues related to the influx of uninvited Haitians and local resources
being insufficient for said influx.

That is not actually unique to Springfield.  There has been a steady wave
of such threats throughout this area of the country (Kentucky, Indiana, and
Ohio -- and possibly other states) since before the debate.  Really, since
school started.  Kentucky has been arresting some people for making the
recent threats in this state.  The perps are usually students at the school
in question.

I suspect the Springfield-area threats are making the national news because
they've been in the spotlight, but they are not unique to that area and are
not all related to the recent "Haitian" press they've received.

> That doesn't explain the continuing saga that DJT keeps talking about.

I have not seen him bring up pet eating in more recent public engagements,
but it could be that my local press is ignoring it.  Maybe Aaron, who has
recently attended a rally, can confirm.  I will take your word for it,
though.
