Two Springfield, Ohio pastors spoke to Fox News Digital about the ministry challenges facing their town that has been thrust into the national spotlight after viral videos of residents complaining of disturbing behavior from Haitian refugees who have settled in the area.

Businesses needed workers, and Haitians, many already authorized to work, heard living costs were low. But the newcomers have strained resources, and that has fueled tension.

Springfield is a town of just under 60,000, according to the 2020 Census, and since then an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 migrants have settled there, many of them from Haiti.
