South Florida Haitian family facing tough challenges as TPS set to end in 2019
WSVN-TV ^ | 7/24/18

In the early 2000s, Rony and Marjorie Ponthieux came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking political asylum.

After the devastating earthquakes in 2010, the family, like 57,000 others, was granted temporary protective status, or TPS.

Thousands of Haitian parents now have less than a year to decide what to do with their American-born children. An immigration policy that allowed them to stay in the U.S. is set to expire next July.

The earth quake was over seven years ago, take your kids and go home. I suggest applying for a green card while in Haiti. You do realize the green card is a WORK permit not a welfare invitation?

There is nothing wrong in Haiti. The Clintons fixed everything.

They came to the US for “Political Asylum” after an earthquake. WTF??? Was the earthquake politically motivated?

Someone please tell me why our “response” to some $hit hole country having a natural disaster is to let some of their residents move here “temporarily” for seven years? To me this is just another way for Liberals to bastardize our population. Without Trump, these people would not be being forced to vacate our country and go home. I also don’t know why they should be given another year “to put their affairs in order here” before being forced to leave?

TPS, Temporary Protected Status, is temporary, and the globalist Left freaks out. They have always been enemies of the United States, and now that is in the open.

And this is our problem because?

Because vile, self-serving politicians love to do Touchy-Feely things with taxpayer money that make them seem concerned and involved without regard for the cost or unintended consequences.

False premise. They are Haitian children, born on U.S. soil.

Really wish they’d (govt) read the proper, full English of the 14th A. (...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...)

The T obviously stands for “totally permanent”.

"...To me this is just another way for Liberals to bastardize our population..."

This is a stated part of the leftist agenda: To dilute the vote and culture of native born, legitimate Americans.

Once we are destroyed as a political force, there will be nothing stopping them.

If a pregnant illegal alien breaks into your home and has her baby there does the baby automatically become part of your family and become your responsibility for ever and ever?

I wouldn't be surprised for some liberal judge to say yes on the question.

You’re welcome for the opportunity to live here in the States. Now take the lessons learned and bring them back to Haiti and work to improve the situation there.

Temporary means not permanent.

The Uniparty has used every trick in the book to flood the country with foreigners.

Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A large number of leftists wearing R jerseys support this same agenda.

I call it the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

We absolutely MUST remove the Bush League Republicans from office and replace them with patriots.

We would not have needed Donald Trump to save US if they were on our side.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.

Fort Pierce, Florida has a large Haitian community.
Many work seasonally in citrus processing plants there and collect unemployment and welfare after harvest season.
