South Florida Haitian Advocates Hopeful after Clinton Comments on Deportations (NAFTA, illegally)

[Benicar]

If they are here illegally, they need to be deported. We must stop being the dumping ground for the impoverished of the world.

FORT LAUDERDALE - Cautious optimism spread through the Haitian community Thursday after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the Obama administration may grant a reprieve to undocumented Haitians in the country.

In an interview with the Miami Herald, Clinton said the United States would continue to intercept Haitians trying to reach Florida by boat, but it's reviewing the policy of deporting those already here. The money they send back to Haiti helps support the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, she said.

Clinton never mentioned temporary protected status, which would give undocumented Haitians already here permission to stay and work. But advocates took Clinton's remarks as a signal of a policy shift to grant the status, which was denied by former President George W. Bush.

No surprise that Hillary who sat on the Walmart Board of Directors and whose husband signed NAFTA is working for the cheap labor corporations and elitists.

These people have no concern whatsoever for the American people.
