After the 2010 earthquake, thousands of Haitians were granted “Temporary Protected Status,” a provision in the law passed during the George Bush administration in 1990 to allow refugees into the U.S.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and many Haitians on the island depend on remittances from their relatives working in the U.S.
The Trump administration announced that all 59,000 Haitians must leave the U.S. by July 1919 or face deportation.
Trump did pardon a turkey.
