59,000 Haitians living in U.S. must leave within 18 months, Trump administration says
2016 Trump to Haitians: "I will be your champion".... 2017 Trump: 60,000 Haitians have 18 months to leave.the Liar-in-Chief strikes again
Some 59,000 Haitians living in the U.S. under temporary status must leave within 18 months, the Trump administration announced Monday.
More than 30,000 of the Haitians affected by the order live in Florida, with another large concentration in New York City.
Haitians who entered the U.S. illegally have been protected against deportation since 2010 under a program known as Temporary Protected Status, which Congress created during the 1990s to avoid sending large numbers of people back to areas suffering from wars or natural disasters.
In Haiti’s case, the temporary status was granted in 2010, after a powerful earthquake devastated the island, which has long been among the poorest places in the Western Hemisphere.
