Transcripts For CNN First of All With Victor Blackwell 20240915

First of all, okay. First of all, we lost an icon this week, Frankie Beverly die and his passing has just not yet gotten the coverage. It deserves. It just has not been covered the way it should be. That song you hear there before i Let Go is an anthem there for so many people. It recalls good memories and a Family Reunions, and happy feelings. If you will, right so stay with me, call your people were going to do it right. For frankie later this morning. All right. We have to start this morning though. With this trash about eating cats and dogs by now, youve heard about the racist claim about haitian migrants eating pets and now theyre the memes, of course, in the tiktok videos, the cats and the dogs looking sad or scared, its viral but maybe what you have not seen are the ways that antiimmigrant lives are impacting real peoples lives. The haitian times spoke to a Community Activist in springfield, ohio. They were told that people are very afraid for their lives. Many families are starting to think of leaving that springfield and some kids are not even go going to school because of fear of being attacked on friday. Schools in springfield were evacuated for the second day in a row. There was a Bomb Threat against schools and City Hall on thursday. Heres the mayor of springfield. He says, they need help, not hate focus on making sure this rhetoric is is dispel that these rumors youre just there, just not true. We have a beautiful city and we need, we need the national stage to pay attention to what their words are doing to cities like ours, Legacy Cities in ohio, Legacy Cities in the midwest that were working hard to be significant. And we are doing well at that. We dont need this pushback that is hurting our citizens and hurting our community and its not just ohio and alabama, a City Council Meeting was shut down after questions started coming in about haitian immigrants. The mayor there is trying to debunk rumors. President biden and white House Brunch honoring black excellence friday, he asked for the former president to stop it i want to just take take a moment to say something like so many americans like kerene, as he pointed out, a proud Haitian American community thats under attack in our country right now. Simply wrong theres no place in america. This has to stop what hes doing. Thats a Stop End yet former President Trump is not stopping in springfield, ohio, 20,000 Illegal Haitian Migrants have descended upon a town of 58,000 people destroying their way of life that i can say this, we will do large deportations from springfield, ohio, large deportations. Were going to get these people out. What bringing them back to venezuela. Its like an invasion from within that was just yesterday. Few problems with the former president said there. Won the immigrants in springfield or hastens haitians have for haiti not venezuela and those haitian immigrants are here legally with Temporary Protected Status there is one Haitian American currently serving in congress, Sheila Cherfilusmccormick of florida is also the first Haitian American democratic congress. And shes with me now congresswoman. Thank you for being with me. I first want but your reaction, what you heard there from the former president yesterday, also his suggestion that hes going to springfield to hold a big rally well i mean, my first reaction was this period discussed and to stay because for the President And J. D. Vance, who are fully aware that the haitians who are in ohio have interred in legally and that they apply while they were in haiti for a legal pathway into the united states and were granted it for him to say that theyre illegal is a huge he july for him to say that theyre actually do a committing crimes. Stealing pads is a big lie and you know, its really rooted in racist stereotypes that weve heard. I want to say decades before, and hes reviving that kind of negative rhetoric. But what seems even more upsetting is that the haitian people who left haiti to come into the united states, they left because of the Gang Violence i said late left because of the political instability. And now when they came into the united states, they came because they knew that there was a mutual beneficial relationship. They were entering into where they were coming to the united states, worked very hard at in factories, in health care, whatever was provided to them so they can give back to the country whos been there for them. And i have to constant police say that, you know, words have actual real meanings and they have actual real results. And this is exactly what Donald Trump is doing right now, is really trying to be divisive. This is his one tool he loves to use, especially when hes down in the polls as being divisive. He goes to this dark place in american history, tries to stoke fear with a reminisce the xenophobia, this racism, the others if you see this language, hes using illegal aliens, you would think people are coming from a flying saucer, are coming down on a ufo. These people are coming out of ufos. Theyre actually human beings, just like our mothers and our fathers who wants came to the united states seeking a better life, especially if you look at the talus springfield, the town of springfield was actually drowning. It didnt have people there. It wasnt a vibrant community. And so now it feels like, wait a minute, is this the things that they get . We would have loved to have the migrants in florida working in communities where you have large haitian populations. But they agree to go to ohio because they didnt want to contribute and help spring phil year. The mayor says they need help as well with the influx of the number of people. He doesnt isolate it specifically to where theyre coming from. But the number of people who are coming in and we have to reiterate the point that while the president has as a centerpiece of his Campaign Migrants who are undocumented in the country, these people that he is criticizing are very much documented in springfield, ohio i wonder what is the impact on Haitian American communities, because we talked a little bit about alabama outside of ohio, outside of springfield. And your concern for what is were seeing popping up across the country well, my biggest concern is that when people now see haitian people theyre assuming that everyones illegal. There assuming that, you know, we have people voting illegally and you are illegal just because we are haitian that knowing that we actually have papers were feeling the combativeness. Were feeling the Death Threats were feeling people calling them. Im hearing that for people all across the country is that now theyre under attack. And this is not the first time at the Haitian Community was under attack. As i mentioned, but we feel like weve dispelled all of these rumors about eating animals or even committing crimes. The true this haitian people do not commit crimes, have not been committing crimes when they came to the united states legally especially so its extremely detrimental what hes doing, hes actually bringing us back and hes you dont bring those people who are already had racist sentiments. He is restoring those stereotypes. And it really does hurt everyone involved because our children now its going to school and so you ive read are considering going to springfield. What would be your message . What do you hope to accomplish if you go well, we need to go to springfield, i believe, to make sure that the haitian migrants who are there contributing to the actual economy and to springfield that they feel safe and protected and see. But also that were hearing from the people in springfield because it seems this narrative destructive this narrative that the former president is putting out and j. D. Vance is putting out. It doesnt seem to have anyone agreeing with it. Weve seen business did people who actually employed the haitian migrants who are happy that theyre helping the economy. We even hear her father step out to say, please stop using my Sons Name to perpetuate this lie about haitian people committing crimes. And so we need to be present to be there to make sure were hearing from the right people. Its so unfortunate that a former president will make up this lies and disrupt a community that is trying to get on its feet. This is not the america we know and love. Were all here to pitch in and help every community and sprinklers the committee that we do want to help. And so we want to make sure that the people know that were there to work at what were there to help and also that the haitian migrants that theyre safe and we do not condone any kind of violence, especially being perpetuated by falsities. Youre considering going should the president go, should the Vice President go, should they make a more punctuated effort to speak out against this trash from former President Trump well, the president has been speaking out about it extensively as you saw him yesterday, speaking out while we were at the white house, he spoke about it. The Vice President also, im pretty sure i know. I people spoken to her several times, hadnt brought this topic, but i know shes committed to making sure that were moving forward were not going backwards. And so i think they have been addressing the issue, but we this needs right now for all republicans and commit members of congress has step up and say that we wont tolerate that as of right now, we have so many elections going on and some of these elections have huge haitian populations, such as new York Theyve been silent. I republican counterparts who actually represent haitian people some of our seniors have been silent and they represent large community. The patient People Everyone should get up and say something in discus. And i do believe that former President Trump needs to issue an apology to the haitian people because what hes saying is false. And we also knew j. D. Vance to issue an apology today, haitian people because he knows its false and we cant allow them and they get away with this. Cant allow them to continue spreading lies. Are you worried about actual violence here . Because as we reported, there were the Bomb Threats, the schools were closed for several days, City Hall was closed. Are you are you concerned that somebodys going to get hurt here . Absolutely. Because what trump is doing is blown that Dog Whistle now we know what hes capable capable of. You know, we cant forget and we cant take him seriously. We saw what happened on January 6 with him doubling down on it. We see more Death Threats. Him actually speaking about this more and more, we see that its actually manifesting thank into violence. And so azra, and now were looking at the situation, how he keeps doubling down. I do believe this is what hes going to try to do going into the election. This is a Scare Tactic that hes going to keep on amplifying so he can try to scare people into voting for him. And so as the scaring amplifies, i do believe more people will be violent thats why we have to stop this now. And thats what we have to take a stand for our country and say were not going to tolerate someone to be Fear Mongering and trying to get people to attack cities that actually need the help. All right, congresswoman Sheila Cherfilusmccormick, the only Haitian American serving now in the congress. Thank you so much for being with me.
