“I have visited Haiti three times during the past 18 months as the United Nations Designated Expert on Haiti. On each visit I saw a serious increase in #HumanRights violations & abuses. In over 30 years of working on Haiti, I have never seen such suffering.… The #US must reconsider #TPS.”

As 1st generation #Haitian American - I resent when peoples say we are against immigrants --- we are in favor of the process where

- you fill out immigration form
- send it US Embassy
- wait for your name be called

That's the process we where custom to --- not this BS by #Biden Admin letting 10-12 millions peoples cross the border

That was BS policy by #JoeBiden Admin & that would explain why #Hispanic voted for Trump

I voted for #KamalaHarris
