Trump says migrants caused a ‘surge in crime’ in a small Wisconsin city. Its residents reject that. – POLITICO
Whitewater, like Springfield, Ohio; Aurora, Colorado; and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, is part of a narrative Donald Trump has built around American towns he claims have become overrun by dangerous immigrants.
Trump said the price of housing in Whitewater had “soared,” “diseases are spreading like wildfire” and “police can’t handle the surge in crime” after being “flooded … with an estimated 2,000 migrants from Venezuela and Nicaragua, very tough ones, very tough people in that group.”
(Me: Trump outright lies)
“I mean this in all respect to everyone in their beliefs and where they’re at, but it’s like regular people wandering around Whitewater. It’s all very normal. And sure, there’s more people who speak Spanish, but we had people who spoke Spanish before,” said Whitewater city manager John Weidl, who stressed that his post is nonpartisan and declined to share his party affiliation.
Dan Meyer, Whitewater’s police chief, refuted Trump’s claim that there had been a crime surge in the town. While the influx of about 1,000 migrants has posed challenges to the 24 police officers there, he said, it’s mainly been due to unlicensed drivers and a lack of translators. The immigrant “population, generally speaking, is no more likely to commit a crime than any other [member of] the existing population we have here,” he said.
“I really think the vast majority of people are supportive” of the immigrant population, Meyer added, “and those who aren’t probably haven’t had a whole lot of interactions, or have had a few interactions that weren’t all that positive. But it’s not based on anything other than perception.”
“Please be safe and please tell the truth. Because Whitewater is a safe community, we’re a university community, we’re a diverse community, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
