The Haitians you are referring to are not here legally; they’re illegally in the country BUT are granted Temporary Protected Status; should TPS as a policy be revoked then under the law, they are not allowed to remain in the USA.
- scintill76 2y agoWith TPS they are permitted to remain, so calling them "illegally in the country" is incorrect. Perhaps you genuinely want to clarify that these "legal migrants" (per grandparent post) are not permanent residents, but it's not a very meaningful distinction here[1], so your post comes off as trying to blur the lines in order to benefit right-wing talking points wherein they are termed "illegal" in order to dismiss their rights and evoke xenophobia. [1] The grandparent post was decrying those who would deport them despite their current permission to stay. The fact that their status could/will change in 2026 (the current Haitian TPS deadline) isn't relevant to whether they deserve deportation today.
