The Supreme Court said racism wasn’t factor a in TPS ruling. Haitians think otherwise
The Supreme Court has upheld President Trump decision to revoke the legal status of Haitians here under Temporary Protected Status (TPS)! TPS protected over 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. allowing them to live and work here! This status was given because of the dangerous and lawless conditions in Haiti. The Secretary of Homeland Security has decided Haiti was safe enough for them to return! The Haitians argued that the decision was motivated by racism, but the Supreme Court didn’t agree!

Our Journey to 250 – America 250
“Immigrants signed their names to our Declaration and helped win our independence. Immigrants helped lay the railroads and build our cities, calloused hand by calloused hand. Immigrants took up arms to preserve our union, to defeat fascism, and to win a Cold War. Immigrants and their descendants helped pioneer new industries and fuel our Information Age, from Google to the iPhone. So the story of immigrants in America isn’t a story of “them,” it’s a story of “us.” It’s who we are. And now, all of you get to write the next chapter.” – President Barack Obama
