In an exclusive interview for Real America’s Voice, Ben Bergquam unveiled a detailed exposé on the hidden networks fueling illegal immigration in Springfield, Ohio. The story arrives at a pivotal moment as President-elect Donald Trump appoints Tom Homan to oversee the U.S. Southern Border and pledges to dismantle NGOs and nonprofits exacerbating this national issue.
Bergquam’s revelations shed light on how staffing companies, NGOs, and large corporations exploit immigrant labor, undercutting American wages and straining local communities. His findings resonate deeply in Springfield, a city struggling with economic decline and social upheaval.
Illegal Immigration as Big Business
Bergquam disclosed shocking details about how staffing companies collaborate with NGOs to recruit illegal immigrants for U.S. manufacturers and distribution centers. “This isn’t about filling labor shortages—it’s about profits,” Bergquam asserted.
Staffing agencies bypass traditional hiring practices, often using loopholes to evade e-verify checks. One Springfield resident shared:
“These companies operate like a shadow economy, setting up second legal entities to process payroll for workers with fake IDs.”
Haitian immigrants, for example, are reportedly paid 25% less than local workers, creating an exploitative system akin to modern-day slavery.
Struggling Communities Bear the Brunt
Springfield, once a hub of industrial innovation, has suffered from decades of decline. Bergquam painted a grim picture of the city’s current state:
“When you dump 20,000 people into a struggling community, it creates a social and economic crisis. Resources meant for veterans and the homeless are redirected to illegal immigrants.”
Local crime rates have skyrocketed, with car thefts and break-ins becoming routine. One resident lamented, “My car insurance jumped 60% in one year because of the rise in accidents caused by unlicensed drivers.”
Corporate Exploitation and Local Politics
Bergquam’s investigation linked several high-profile companies, including Aldi’s distribution warehouse and food giant Dole, to illegal labor practices.
He detailed how these corporations rely on staffing agencies to transport, translate for, and manage immigrant workers:
“This creates a captive workforce dependent on their employer for everything—paychecks, transportation, and communication.”
Meanwhile, local politicians turn a blind eye, influenced by campaign donations and kickbacks from these lucrative arrangements.
President Trump’s Bold Vision
Bergquam’s exposé couldn’t have come at a more critical juncture. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to address the root causes of illegal immigration. His promise to prosecute NGOs and nonprofits involved in these schemes signals a seismic shift in U.S. policy.
Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan underscores his commitment to securing the border and holding exploitative organizations accountable. Bergquam expressed hope:
“Thank God President Trump won. It’s time to take our country back.”
The Fight for American Jobs
As Bergquam’s investigation unfolded, it became clear that the issue isn’t just about immigration; it’s about the erosion of opportunities for American workers. Springfield’s residents, already grappling with poverty and unemployment, now face intensified competition for low-paying jobs.
Bergquam concluded with a sobering message:
“This isn’t just a Springfield problem—it’s an American problem. These systems are robbing our citizens and exploiting vulnerable populations.”
Call to Action: Reclaiming America
Bergquam’s revelations have ignited a national conversation. His call for mass deportations and prosecution of complicit organizations underscores the urgency of the situation.
With Trump’s leadership, there is renewed hope for justice and reform. As Bergquam declared:
“The American people deserve better. It’s time to fix this broken system and put our citizens first.”
