UPDATE
ORIGINAL POST Today was the day that a decision would be made regarding the 58,000 Haitians living in America under Temporary Protected Status. The Trump administration has decided to extend the status until January. Senior officials working @ the Department of Homeland Security has "strongly encouraged" those living under the status to "resolve their affairs to include obtaining travel documentation" aka it's highly unlikely that they will be extending this again. "This 6 month extension should allow Haitian TPS recipients living in the United States time to attain travel documents and make other necessary arrangements for their ultimate departure from the United States, and should also provide the Haitian government with the time it needs to prepare for the future repatriation of all current TPS recipients."--John Kelly, Homeland Security Secretary Officials have said that conditions in Haiti have improved "dramatically" enough for them to be able to return to the country. **Ummm...when have conditions in Haiti improved?** Contrary to what the Department of Homeland Security has to say, US Citizenship and Immigration Services say the condition in Haiti is nowhere near acceptable for them to return. Currently, there's a cholera epidemic, an unstable economy, lack of food and housing, inadequate medical care, and reoccurring security threats. Brief thoughts: I believe extending the status is the best thing to do for the thousands of Haitians that are living in this country. I'm honestly surprised because I wholeheartedly expected for this man and his administration to toss these people out of the country. Needless to say I'm shocked! I do think it's bs for these people who have probably never been to Haiti to say that the country has "drastically" improved. Umm, maybe you should go there, take a tour of where you're trying to send these people back to, not the fancy touristy areas, but the areas where these people would be living. Stay there for a couple days, come back, and let us know if you would live there or allow your families to live there. I guarantee it wouldn't be up to your uppity standards and if that's the case, then instead of just sending these people back home to live there, help the country because a country that you sir would want to live in.
