WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The Biden administration will expand deportation relief and work permits to an estimated 309,000 Haitians in the country already, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday. The administration will expand access to the Temporary Protected Status program to Haitians through February 2026 due to violence and security issues in Haiti that limit access to safety, healthcare, food and water, the department said.
About 264,000 Haitians in the U.S. were already covered by the program, according to the U.S. government. U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat seeking another term in Nov. 5 elections, has walked a political tightrope when it comes to immigration, trying to step up security at the U.S.-Mexico border while also taking a more humane approach to immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
In a presidential debate on Thursday, Biden's Republican challenger, former President Donald Trump, criticized Biden for failing to stem high levels of illegal immigration.
Under the latest move, TPS will now be available to Haitians who were in the U.S. on or before June 3. The TPS program offers deportation relief and work permits to people in the U.S. whose home countries face armed conflict, natural disasters and other extraordinary events. The designations last six to 18 months but frequently are renewed.
As president, Trump tried to end most TPS enrollment but was blocked in federal courts.
Thousands of Haitian migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021 as part of a rise in illegal crossings after Biden took office. In recent years, the number of Haitians caught crossing illegally has plummeted as many have used new legal pathways to the U.S.

I’m sick and tired of the U.S. being the world’s dumping ground.
So where do we go when that sh t starts happening here?
...oh, never mind.
The government will probably just take your house away and give it to them.
All registered to vote?
I’ve seen videos of cannibalism in Haiti. Just great, of course, bring them here.
I would rather persecuted Christians from Africa. Would have been nice if we had brought persecuted Jews from Europe 1933 - 1945...
The Hatian Bros. will introduce the Chicago Weekend Bloodbath here and double its size of the body count.
This has Obama’s DNA all over it.......he always disdained America as being “too white.”
yeah we so need to have more violent stone age people here....wonder what diseases they’ll be bringing...
We can’t afford any more refugees. Our country has almost $35 trillion in debt, something around $140K per household!
All that aside from the cultural rot induced by importing wildly different values, while doing NOTHING to integrate them into our society!
So agreed 100%, INFURIATING!
Trump 2024!!!
Why do they need “protection?” We were told Haiti is not a s hole and it is racist to think otherwise.
And who the hell is paying for the travels from Haiti, through Mexico, to bribe the cartels, and pay the smugglers?
Where can I go to sign up for all the freebies?
The Dominicans don’t want them either.
I just checked with my friend from the DR. He says there is a wall, between Haiti and the DR, guarded 24/7, by the military, plus a river between. The Dominicans don’t want the Haitians either.
Not just the Dems...
