U.S. Cancels Program For Recent Haitian Immigrants;

Some 50,000 Haitians who've lived and worked in the United States since a catastrophic earthquake there in 2010 are reeling from news that their special protected status will be canceled.

They have 18 months until their temporary protected status — or TPS — is terminated in the summer of 2019. A statement from The Department of Homeland Security says the 18-month lead time is to "allow for an orderly transition before the designation terminates on July 22, 2019."

Well, Haiti has a lot of problems. A fair number we have had a hand in.

When they had their slave rebellion in which the slave owners on overseers were killed, the slave owners in the US had a fit. And we have meddled with that country ever since.
