Do you honestly believe Biden whose base consists from a proportional standpoint is made up mostly of black people would direct the state of Texas which is Republican controlled to hunt down black migrants on horseback with whips.. Do you realize how retarded that looks optically from a political standpoint?
Your desire to be either a contrarian or to both side politics is blinding your logic. Where is your proof that Biden’s homeland security is responsible for this?
I’m scared,” Gary Monplaisir, a 26-year-old Haitian man, who had traveled from Chile to the U.S. border with his wife and 5-year-old daughter and who now faces imminent removal to Haiti, told The Associated Press. “I don’t have a plan.” He has not lived in Haiti for four years, and reaching family in Port-au-Prince would require crossing a gang-controlled area, where killings are common.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the new designation of Haiti for temporary protected status in May. “Haiti is currently experiencing serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources, which are exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said. “After careful consideration, we determined that we must do what we can to support Haitian nationals in the United States until conditions in Haiti improve so they may safely return home.”
Conditions have not improved, and yet a mass deportation of historic size to the beleaguered Caribbean nation continues at extraordinary pace. Haiti remains beset by the aftermath of another devastating hurricane, gang warfare, and an acute political crisis — for which centuries of white supremacist U.S. oppression and intervention bares considerable historic blame. As The Intercept’s Ryan Devereaux
reported, the July assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse, which plunged the country into political disarray, involved U.S.-trained Colombian mercenaries. It is another great, unbroken American tradition: to destabilize foreign nations and then forego all obligations to the mass migrations that the U.S. helped produce.
“We are in utter disbelief that the Biden Administration would deport Haitians now. Hours after the 7.2 magnitude earthquake, President Joe Biden released a statement saying that the United States was a ‘friend’ of Haiti. A ‘friend’ does not continuously inflict pain on another friend,” Guerline Jozef, co-founder and executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said in a statement. “Just one month after this devastating earthquake and storm that resulted in the deaths of over 2,200 Haitians, injured 12,000 people, damaged or destroyed 120,000 homes and displaced hundreds of thousands of people, the Administration sent a plane full of families to Haiti under Title 42, including children under the age of three, without offering them legal protection and the opportunity to file for asylum.”
