There’s a reason Ohio is the most frequently targeted state for mass-importation of foreign nationals like Haitians and Somalis:
Ohio is the spiritual center of the American identity.
Ohio’s factories provided the tools that built this country, the weapons that won two world wars, the steel that took us into the sky. Ohio’s farms fed this country. Ohio’s men led this country.
Ohio is arguably the centrifuge of the historic American nation. It’s still the most traditionally “Americana”-esque state in terms of scenery, culture, and identity.
To break the identity, cohesiveness, and soul of an entire nation requires striking it at its heart.
Ohio is the economic, cultural, and spiritual heart of America.
