Haitian immigration

Despite a seemingly neverending string of tragedies that have left its people desperate for help, data shows that the U.S. grants asylum to Haitians at the lowest rate among people from any other nationality who are similarly seeking refuge.

The U.S. government had a stern warning in no uncertain terms for any Haitians considering trying to flee and seek asylum in the U.S. following the assassination of the island nation's president: Don't do it.

Black immigrants like those from Haiti are of particular concern to immigration activists worried about the Biden administration deporting them to nations either mired in conflict, poverty, both or worse.

The president and his administration are deliberately sabotaging legal Haitian immigration through a number of political channels, advocacy groups and activists said this week.
