Even though the Supreme Court has put out some disastrous duds, they’ve also handed President Trump major victories as well. They cleared the way for his team to end Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of Haitian migrants. What does TPS mean, exactly? Well, in short, when a foreigner is on TPS, they don’t have to work, and there’s no risk of being deported.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) does not require you to work. Instead, it gives eligible individuals the legal permission to work in the U.S. and protects them from deportation. TPS does not require you to hold a job; it simply provides the legal right to work if you choose to.
So, if they’re not holding down a job, they’re collecting welfare and mooching off the American taxpayer.
The good news is that President Trump can now begin deporting them.
Of course, the reaction from the left came in fast and furious style. The same crowd that exploded with outrage when President Trump called Haiti a “shithole” country years ago, flooding social media with beautiful beach photos and travel brochures, is now arguing that sending migrants back would be a death sentence because Haiti is simply too dangerous.
Western Lensmen:
Jan 2018. Democrats and the media were apoplectic over Trump’s “shithole” comments, and were engaged in a campaign to defend Haiti.
Here, Anderson Cooper explains to Conan what an “amazing,” “incredible” and “culturally rich” place it is, and how he loves to spend his weekends and vacation time there.
Conan then went to Haiti and posed for the infamous “beautiful country” photo while sipping a drink out of a coconut.
Now, Dems and the media are telling you it would mean suffering or death for anyone to be sent back there.
Their narrative is wholly dependent on what is deemed to be politically useful at any given time.
So… which is it? Shithole or utopia?
While the left decides on that million-dollar question, another bombshell has landed, this time courtesy of the Boston Globe.
Buried inside the paper’s overly sympathetic coverage of the Supreme Court ruling against TPS is a statistic that has infuriated Americans.
Massachusetts is home to roughly 90,000 Haitians. According to the Globe’s own reporting, only about 10,000 of them are actually in the workforce under Temporary Protected Status. The rest aren’t.
Let’s take a look at what the Globe actually reported.
The story starts by explaining how many Haitian workers are expected to lose their Temporary Protected Status following the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Boston Globe:
More than 10,000 Haitians in the Massachusetts workforce, many filling crucial jobs in long-term care, construction, and transportation, will lose their Temporary Protected Status. The Trump administration is expected to implement the court ruling any day. And unless they have other legal protections, those with Haitian or Syrian TPS will not be allowed to stay in the country.
A little deeper into the article, the Globe reveals how many Haitians live in Massachusetts.
BG:
In all, roughly 45,000 TPS holders live in Massachusetts, the majority of them Haitians. About 1,500 of whom work in nursing care facilities, according to the state.
Massachusetts has a really large Haitian population, but only a small, tiny handful are working under TPS. What a gut-punch to the hardworking US taxpayer.
The Globe also argues that Massachusetts depends heavily on immigration to sustain its workforce and economy. Really? It doesn’t seem like that many of them are interested in actually working.
BG:
The rate of new immigrants coming to Massachusetts fell by more than half during the first six months of Trump’s second term, according to a new report by MassINC Policy Center and Boston Indicators. The state has the second-highest rate of international in-migration in the country, which has been critical to offsetting the low birth rate.
Massachusetts needs at least 60,000 net new immigrants a year by 2030 to maintain the size of its working-age population, according to the report. But by the end of this year, net international migration to the state could fall to 29,000.
“Without immigration at something close to this scale,” the report states, “Massachusetts risks economic contraction.”
Basically, Massachusetts is dependent on cheap foreign labor, maybe not all are Haitian, but this blue state clearly likes the low-wage migrant worker.
Which brings us to the next part, where the Globe lets one of its immigration attorneys explain why employers are fretting about what comes next.
BG:
“My big concern is: Employers trying to make sure they’re not running afoul of the law are going to terminate people because they’re Haitian or Syrian,” said Leslie Ditrani, a Cambridge immigration attorney who runs the legal nonprofit Pathway for Immigrant Workers. “You can’t commit country of origin discrimination.”
Immigrants with work permits are also well known to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“ICE knows where people are,” said Keith Pabian, an immigration lawyer in Framingham. “They have their fingerprints, they have their addresses.”
Somebody should let this lawyer know that enforcing immigration law after legal protections expire isn’t discrimination.
It’s called the “law.”
But the biggest surprise in this story is how the Boston Globe’s reporting raises the big questions many Americans have been asking for eons now. If Massachusetts has built all of these industries around “temporary” immigration programs, maybe the real problem isn’t the Court enforcing the law. Maybe it’s that politicians treated a temporary program like a permanent solution.

80,000 Haitians collecting the welfare Americans won’t collect.
I wonder what kind of fraud Haitians specialize in.
90,000 is about 1.5% of the Mass . population . 1.4% too many .
And everyone I know from Massachusetts complains about the taxes there and complains about having to live in a neighborhood full of freeloading thieves and criminals.
But they don’t have the amount of brain cells necessary to connect the two thoughts...............
Well I am all for the Haitians milking the citizens of Massachusetts for as much as they can get out of them...
I wonder where they are living?
This is a horrific low end housing crisis in MA. You hear about it all the time on social media. But when you point out that MA added immigrants in the past five years that equalled their third largest city, these moron democrats don’t “get it.”
The housing market in any state is a “system” that evolved over decades. There has usually been enough supply to match the annual turn over. It is a system, like any other economic system. When you remove supply or add demand it is going to impact the system.
Dumping 150,000 people into such a “tight” system and you are going to impact the marginal price of the low end rentals/ownership. The end result is akin to holding up a tube of toothpaste and squeezing it upwards. The supply shrinks as the tube moves up, thus the prices will go up faster.
But it seems if you’ve been educated in Marxism and Psychology instead of economics, the whole process will be lost on you.
The USSC cleared the way to end Temporary Protected Status for 10’s of 1000’s of
Haitians. A migrant on TPS, has no requirement to work, and no risk of being deported.
<><>TPS gives eligibles protection from deportation.
<><>TPS does not require them to hold a job;
<><>TPS provides the legal right to work...... if they choose to.
<><>if not holding a job, TPS’ers collect welfare (US tax dollars).
<><>the USSC said President Trump can now begin deporting them.
In Marxist system, supply always equals demand. That’s what they are taught..............
I wonder where they are living?

I am not sure but I don’t believe in Martha’s Vineyard. ☹️
That’s the natural talent Haitians have living on someone else’s money.
They’re in MA for a reason….
It seems, despite, the whining the Ds are always at the controls.

Working citizens on the low income side are the ones harmed the most. The freeloading Haitians are treated much better than our own citizens.
Laziest people in the world come to the US to feed off of the taxpayers
Oh, they’re working. Working in criminal enterprises. Working on scamming taxpayers.
Good luck to ICE in rounding them up and getting them the hell out of here! The blue cities will protect them as much as they can. Riot, march, burn, kill. Anything to keep EIGHTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ON THE WELFARE ROLLS!!!
The communists in Massachusetts actively promote "working" as "spending taxpayer money to support the economy while transferring transaction fees to owners of financial institutions", and "stimulate debt lending to business owners and their landlords" of those who cater to them.
Same here, MA deserves them,,,,,,,hopefully MA will attract even more from other states, like mine!
Just 90K more democrap voters is how the left has always looked at it...

How many fake clinics and childcare facilities do they run collecting billions in government subsidies fraudulently?
Let’s not even ask how we ended up in a world where it was possible to defraud the government with impunity on a wide scale.
Let’s ask why the government pays for everything in the first freaking place?
It shouldn’t even be possible to intercept fake subsidies at all because the subsidies shouldn’t even exist.
