DHS General Counsel: It's Closing Time. Haitians Don't Have to Go Home, But They Can't Stay Here

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_

NEW: I asked DHS General Counsel James Percival if DHS will allow a grace period for the 300,000+ Haitians who are having their TPS terminated to leave the country, or will arrests and deportations begin immediately?

"It's closing time, they don't have to go home, but they can't stay," Percival said.

He urged the Haitians to use the CBP Home app and take advantage of a $2,600 payment to self deport instead of being subjected to ICE arrest & detention.

@DHSGenCounsel

Immigration promoters claim it's not safe to send them back to Haiti, because the aftershocks of that 1993 earthquake are still being felt.

But this is yet another lie. They didn't come from Haiti. Most of the Haitians let into the United States took shelter in other third-party countries, but then tore up their documentation to make asylum claims in America.

A large share of Haitians (and Cubans & Venezuelans) who were allowed in under Biden did not come from their home countries but from 3rd countries like Chile, Brazil and Spain, where they had residency & work permits. So they can return there if they don't want to go home.

100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river's edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn't hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.

The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden's open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden's CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.

Happy Friday!

It's a slow news day and a lot of these items are going to be meh.
