NEW: Actor John Legend tells the people of Springfield, Ohio to love their Haitian neighbor because it’s the Christian thing to do.
The actor with a net worth of $100M has come out in defense of the Haitians moving to his hometown.
Legend says the Haitian immigrants in Springfield are just like any other immigrant even if they aren’t “eating the same foods.”
He even argued that the immigrants are committing less crime than native born Americans.
“They are hardworking, they’re ambitious, they commit less crime than native born Americans.”
“How about we love one another? I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”
“So how about we adopt that ethos when we talk about immigrants moving to our communities.”
“John R. Stevens from Springfield signing off.”
