Aiden Clark , 11 , was killed in a school bus accident in August of 2023 in Springfield , Ohio .

Aiden 's father, Nathan Clark , spoke out at a city commission meeting on September 10, 2024 .

He begged people not to use his son's death to demonize Haitian migrants.

Some Republican politicians have used the death of Aiden to support anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Fear and prejudice against immigrants has proven to be an effective political strategy.

The more voices like Nathan Clark and Jamie McGregor and the United Farm Workers we have to counter the purposeful fear-mongering about specific populations, the better.

There are legitimate conversations to be had about managing immigration and ensuring migration is handled in a sustainable way.
