From Fox News: Residents of a rural Indiana city are begging for help from the government as many insist a mass influx of migrants has overwhelmed the community.

“We need some help here. We need some federal help. We need transparency between our local officials, and we need some more information and communication,” warned Dave Price, a resident of Logansport, approximately 78 miles north of Indianapolis.

Appearing Wednesday on “Fox & Friends,” Price relayed the on-the-ground struggle residents face as more immigrants come into the area.

“Logansport is just not used to [this]. We had immigrants come in throughout the years to Logansport from the Mexico area, so we have a lot of Hispanics in the area which have acclimated very well, and they’ve grown their businesses, and they’ve earned the respect of Americans, and we’ve respected them in return,” he said.

“But what we’re seeing now is a little different. It’s coming from a Third World country coming into Logansport, and these individuals don’t necessarily know the local laws or rules and how to behave here, basically, and we just ask that our local leaders, state and federal, take a look at Logansport, Indiana.”


No one seems to know exactly how many illegal aliens have descended on the small town, but the situation has been described as “unsustainable.”

One local resident estimated the number could surpass 2,000, while migrant “spiritual leaders” have estimated the number at 5,000. The mayor, Chris Martin, said he has been “left in the dark” about the number of migrant arrivals and has no way to verify the number, the report states.

Many illegal aliens reportedly came to work at a local Tyson Foods plant.

According to the report, the invasion has created several problems, including a strain on local services like schools, housing and health facilities, and Logansport Memorial Hospital says there have been skyrocketing birth rates.

RNC Research shared a Fox59 video report last week and wrote: “In Logansport, Indiana — pop. 18,000 — thousands of Haitian migrants who came under Harris-Biden have put a dire strain on the city. There are “20-25 people” living in homes, schools are overwhelmed with students who need translators, and hospitals are overwhelmed with patients relying on charity care or Medicaid. The federal government is nowhere to be found.”
