    How it started∶

    “…Give me your tired, your poor; Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    How it is going∶

  2. ~200,000 #Haitians with #TPS hold jobs, with large concentrations of workers in #healthcare, #foodservice, #warehousing, #retail & long-term #caregiving, acc/to an analysis of government data by the #immigration advocacy group FWD.us. Business owners have been preparing for weeks by raising sign-on bonuses, cutting shifts & making inroads at community colleges & high schools to hire new staff, industry leaders said.

  3. US District Judge Ana C. Reyes of DC had enjoined the #Trump admin in February from ending #TPS for #Haitians, & a federal appeals court had refused to lift the ban. Reyes reversed her decision after #SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in June that federal #law bars judicial review of TPS determinations.
    
The high court’s ruling means TPS “is no longer in effect,” Reyes wrote in her new order Wednesday.

  4. A union representative "said she has been having conversations 'that you would never want to have with a parent,' telling them to 'make a plan so that your children can at least stay in safe environments while you may have to go back to #Haiti.'"

    One 58-year-old mom trying to put her kids through school said, "There is nowhere to go in Haiti. There are gangs living in my house in Port-au-Prince."

  5. Some nursing homes ~"cut ties w/ scores of employees in recent days, while others have downsized. One facility...raised its sign-on bonus from $2,000 to $6,000 to attract workers...others explored recruiting replacement workers from high schools...

    "To lose that many employees in one fell swoop is incredibly disruptive...And it's destructive to the residents who have been close to these caregivers for years." 👀

  6. "Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) told CBS News this week that #Haitians helped revive the city of Springfield, where #Trump falsely accused #Haitian #immigrants of eating cats and dogs during the 2024 presidential campaign. DeWine called the decision to end #TPS a 'mistake.'

    "'These are people who have helped
    Springfield really come back. The Haitians ... came there because there were #jobs that were not being filled by other people.'"

  7. "'We do think the Supreme Court decision is going to decimate industries that people really count on because they're largely serviced by #immigrants. That's true of airports,' said Roxana Rivera, assistant to the president at SEIU 32BJ (union), which represents cleaners, security guards and airport personnel on the East Coast. 'It's going to be much more difficult to fill these essential #jobs.'"

  8. I absolutely second the motion. Let the #Haitians come to Canada if they're kicked out of the US. Certainly, the locals and local politicians down there want them to stay. Say what you will about #Trudeau, he was true to his word in allowing 25,000+ Syrians into Canada quickly in the midst of their war.
