“Among Haitian immigrants ages 16 and older, 71 percent participated in the civilian labor force, compared to 66 percent of the overall foreign-born population and 62 percent of the U.S.-born population. Haitian immigrant women were also more likely to be in the labor force than the overall female immigrant population (66 percent compared to 57 percent).” https://www.migrationpolicy.org/arti...ed-states-2018
Haitians are extremely hard workers in most cases. Anyone who claims Haitian immigrants are simply going to welfare recipients is just hateful and playing ignorant.
At the very least, no one can accuse Haitians of being lazy. Of all the Haitians I've met, I never met any Haitian who didn't work or wasn't in university.
I know that Haiti is the poorest country is the Western Hemisphere. I know Haiti has alot of turmoil. At the same time, I get the feeling some people just hate Haitians, not just the country.
Trump split immigrant families kept them in cages and a decent number of children could not be reunited with there families no response from republicans
Biden immigrants see a new president and think they can get in the USA easily so 25% to 35% more immigrants try to cross the border for the first year of Biden's term now Republicans this is 50x worse than Trump locking them in cages and splitting up families

There were good reasons for it and they weren't cages! They were large holding facilities. Kids were separated from their alleged parents when there was suspicion that they weren't really their parents but human smugglers instead. Obama did the same thing and so has Biden! An inconvenient truth for you.
Trump warned these migrants not to try and sneak into our country with their kids or they could be separated from them as we don't jail kids with their parents and since the parents broke the law they had to be incarcerated so it was on them not Trump since many chose to ignore that policy.
These parents that got separated from their kids knew where their kids were and could claim them but many of them didn't do so and many that came with human smugglers not their parents. Tell the whole story not just the part that fits a certain agenda.
Another example of failed backward country, Haiti which its citizens are fleeing are crossing illegally into the US bringing crime and COVID they will eventually be welfare recipients but dependable democrat voters paid for by US taxpayers
Thousands of Haitians are illegally crossing the southwest border into the United States.
Border Patrol agents have apprehended 15,599 Haitians from January through June this year, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics. In the same period last year, 2,097 Haitians were apprehended.
As I understand it, the migration route is Haiti to Columbia to the Jungles in Panama up through all of Central America and through Mexico. The journey is risky and can take years to complete.
Would it not be easier, faster, cheaper and safer to obtain a visa to visit family and then stay put which is what Haitians have been doing for 50+ years. Used to be having an anchor baby created an expedited path to citizenship.
The US has an insatiable demand for cheap labor. No wall is high enough nor patrols deep enough to prevent illegal migration so long as US businesses and people can hire undocumented people with nary a consequence.
We know Trump Org employed dozens of undocumented people. Not likely Trump had a clue, despite that house and grounds keepers did not speak English. When it hit the fan, Don Jr said it had not broken any law- not required to use e- Verify. Their IDs were cheap and obvious fakes.
Somehow, the largest US employers use eVerify regardless of a law requiring them to do so. It takes but a minute to do so.
Florida has the third largest concentration of undocumented people, after California and Texas. This is remarkable considering Florida does not share a land border with a foreign country.
Florida farms are bursting with undocumented labor including children at harvest times, despite there is no cap on visas for seasonal agriculture workers. Why is this? Undocumented workers are cheaper and understand they have no labor rights.
