They now face increasing arrests, demeaning treatment by ICE, and deportation to dangerous conditions in Haiti. The Administration’s decision to cancel TPS for Haitians – and the Supreme Court’s ruling to allow it – is cruel, inhumane, and racist. 

Haitian immigrants contribute close to $6 billion to the U.S. economy, pay $1.5 billion in taxes, and fill an estimated 200,000 jobs – especially in critical economic sectors such as healthcare, food processing, construction, manufacturing, and hospitality. This Administration has already made dangerous cuts to our healthcare system. Now nursing homes and hospital wings may not be able to meet staffing ratios and could be forced to close.

All 47 Democratic Senators have co-sponsored S. 4814 to extend Haiti TPS for three years, and we need to build bipartisan support to advance the bill.
