Donald Trump Ends Temporary Protected Status For Haitians

It is always nice to wake up to headlines like this.

New York Times:

“The Trump administration on Thursday cut protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the United States, putting them on track to be targeted for deportation this summer, according to government documents and an official with the Department of Homeland Security.

The decision was signed this week by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, and is the latest in President Trump’s sweeping crackdown on immigration, including people whom the Biden administration had authorized to remain in the country.

The Haitians affected by the decision had been living in the United States under Temporary Protected Status, which is intended to help people in the United States who cannot return safely and immediately to their countries because of a natural disaster or an armed conflict. More than 500,000 Haitians in the United States are eligible for the status.

Before he left office, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had granted them an 18-month extension of their deportation protections. On Thursday, Ms. Noem revoked that extension — meaning those protections will now expire in August instead of next February. …”

What happened?

I was repeatedly assured by activists that Trump was lying and would never act on his campaign promises and that he would have the same immigration policy as Kamala Harris.

  1. ‘repeatedly assured by activists that Trump was lying and would never ac’

    Defeatism is so good, it’s always an easy excuse to do nothing and let everything go to hell, then you’re proven right.

    ” see how smart I am, I said everything would go to hell and it did. I’m just so damn smart.”

  2. Is ‘activist’ really the right word ?
    It seems that their defeatism is more the opposite, anti-activity, do nothing.

  3. Why are Germans voting for the far-right?

    When Japanese or even Taiwanese say no to mass migration, nobody calls them far right. It’s only Westerners who are so concerned with such terms. For many East Asians, it’s just common sense to protect our own countries and ethnicities. Nothing racist or far right about it.
