Extend TPS for Haiti

COUNCIL MEMBER MATHIEU EUGENE AND THE HAITIAN-AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR UNITY AND EMPOWERMENT (HACUE) URGE YOUR SUPPORT TO CALL UPON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO EXTEND TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS (TPS) FOR HAITI.

Whereas Haiti has suffered horrific devastation from multiple natural disasters, including four tropical storms in 2008, the horrific 2010 earthquake, and the recent hurricane in 2016

Whereas Haiti cannot withstand an influx of deported Haitian nationals who will put additional strain on the country’s ongoing economic challenges

Whereas Haiti has a severely damaged socioeconomic infrastructure, which the government is still in the process of rebuilding

Whereas Haiti is coping with an unprecedented outbreak of cholera and other public health crises

Whereas Haiti has gone through tremendous political unrest and is working to stabilize its government institutions

We, the undersigned, request that the President of the United States and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, hereby extend the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti as a humanitarian gesture that will alleviate the current socioeconomic burden and ease recovery efforts.
