“There is no particular need –aside from red meat for the anti-immigrant base — to expel these law-abiding people who have made their home here for as long as seven years. Florida’s unemployment rate of 4.1 percent does not suggest that they have displaced U.S.-born workers. And the notion that these people can return to Haiti to enjoy a decent life is belied by the facts on the ground there. The lack of humanity is evident in the administration’s anti-family action. The hardship on those Haitians is immense, while the ‘benefit’ to the United States is nonexistent.”
