You are right. We should not be focusing on the suspicion that they might be eating cats. Let's focus on the fact that they are responsible for driving up rent and driving down wages, while being powerless enough to be forced to go on a duckhunt for lunch.
First off, ew. Posting a link to Matt Walsh as some kind of icon of truth is a huge red flag [0].
Second, wages are actually rising in Springfield and have been for a while now.
Third, yes, a sudden influx of people tends to drive up rent and it was up to 14% there for a bit. Landlords, am I right? Predatory banks and hedge funds are a far more legitimate target than immigrants if you want to talk about housing.
Also Springfield's housing problems predate the Haitians' arrival, and rents this year have risen at the "modest" pace of 3.2% - hardly worth demonizing people over.
Fourth, it's not cool to smear, even tangentially, 12-15k people (not 20k) because of a few unverified reports of ducks and geese (commonly eaten animals and not generally pets) being snatched.
Fifth, American culture has involved many, many things that are frowned on by the rest of the world (gun worship, evangelicals, 'regime changes', forever wars based on lies, etc). Many of them are far worse than eating pets - have you ever read "The Delectable Negro"?
Sixth, attacking Haitian immigrants because of (isolated) things they had to do in the past to survive (due to unimaginable exploitation) is a racist waste of your limited energy.
Seventh, if you want to focus on the "right issue" re immigration, then maybe start with the kids still in cages, or the 32,000 "missing" children.
These are real people, real Americans, who are facing real hardships, who you care nothing about. Save all your coping cultural luxury beliefs. These people are facing declining wages, losses of jobs and now the federal government is dumping tons of Haitians on their strained systems.
Luxury beliefs are those that might make your feel good and virtuous, but ultimate hurt everyone in the lower class you think you advocate for.

It's not slander if it's true.
How deep into the grift are you? How much are you donating to these people?

Your speech patterns are weird. Is English your first language?

So it's slander.
