DHS ends temporary residency program for 60K Haitians
The Hill ^

Posted on 11/20/2017 5:13:55 PM PST by ameribbean expat

The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday it would cancel a temporary residence program that's allowed nearly 59,000 Haitians to live and work in the United States.

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke gave Haitians living with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until July 22, 2019 to either leave the country or apply for a different legal immigration category.

Under TPS, citizens of designated countries that have undergone a major natural or man-made disaster are allowed to remain in the United States legally until conditions in their home nations recover.

This is bad news for them but overall it is excellent news for the United States.

They were given ‘temporary’ residence 10 years ago after the Hurricane....the country indeed will always be poor as it’s a welfare state..... But go back they should and apply for citizenship like all others have to do.

Econ 101, your most effective changes are around the margins. How many programs like this exist that we FR-er's do not know about or forgot about that are sub-sets/carve outs of a dysfunctional Immigration System w/ no cut and dry rules. Getting rid of this is an effective change around the margins..

You’re right they can. Our parish supports a sister parish in Haiti and we pay teachers $50 a month.

Having lived in Miami, most Haitians I knew are hard working decent people...

Hopefully they apply for and get new status...

Sending the decent ones back to the hell hole called Haiti would almost be a crime...

“Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke gave Haitians living with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until July 22, 2019 to either leave the country or apply for a different legal immigration category.”

How about paring the options down to just “leave”, Elaine.

"...until July 22, 2019..."

WTF?

This just means that the whole thing about the original announcement was an unfettered lie.

There never was any intention to get this scum out of our country and, to some extent, off taxpayer-paid-for welfare.
