I know you don't buy into both parties at all, and I agree for the most part.
But you gotta admit that this is on some other bullshyt.

Increase how? None of those people are voting eligible.
Or is his base gonna get hyped that earthquake victims got deported?
GoAggieGo.
getting blitzed.
I know this thread is about Haitians being unfairly targeted by Trump and his administration, and while I think it’s wrong and I’m not for it, there’s no need for you to be dishonest and say “Dems are for reparations.” You can make your case in here without the dishonesty.
they ought to let them stay, and im sure most who can prove they work and have kids in school will end up staying
i can't help but notice that the program is literally called "temporary" though
The "temporary" part was never in the fine print either, it's literally called TPS, Temporary Protected Status. That said, nothing was ever a given and I look at the bolded from the article and can't help but think they should have known this was always a possibility. I'm sympathetic to their situation and hope it gets resolved for their children's sake. However, there's still a level of entitlement there. It's not the arrogant entitlement displayed from the so called migrants coming from Honduras, but none the less nothing is owed to the folks from Haitians.
Will say, the position Trump has taken towards those with TPS has Stephen Miller written all over it. There's something wrong with that guy.
Destin came to the United States in 2000, well before the special status was granted. She filed for asylum but was denied and told to go back to Haiti. “The first 10 years were hard,” she says of her time as an undocumented immigrant. When the Obama administration granted TPS to Haitians, Destin and many others took advantage of the chance to emerge from the shadows. The Obama administration regularly renewed the special status in 18-month intervals.
I know they aren't eligible i was just testing yall to see if you were skimming through the thread

We can say how racist Trump is against foreign blacks. But why haven't the CBC and its affiliates blasted this situation on every network and platform?

Obama deported Hatians like hell. It was an obvious target and he made a threat to them in 2016 and set forth a lot to be deported in early 2017

Again, please don’t be dishonest. I don’t want to derail this thread, but that’s 31 or 32 Dem representatives out of how many? Overall, the Dems are not for reparations and if they were, we would’ve heard more on this from them than we have.
We can have this discussion in another thread, though, as I don’t want to derail this one.

Bills typically never get cosponsored by the entire party. The entire Republican Party didn’t cosponsor their tax or Obamacare repeal bills and as you know they all voted for them. For example 40 dems cosponsored the Obamacare Bill. That high amount of cosponsors for a bill is ALOT and highly indicative of how most dems will vote.
