Deportations Loom For Haitians

Here’s a look at the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to remove temporary protected status for some 250,000 Haitians, sending them back home. There’s a lot of gnashing of the teeth going on among Democrats who brought these people here en masse and deposited them wholesale in select communities. The focus here is on Springfield, Ohio, where Haitians now make up 20 percent of the population.

The hard reality? The Haitians still haven’t assimilated into that community. More than 60 percent of the Haitians are on welfare, receiving  SNAP benefits and other government handouts. They have received those handouts for more than 15 years. So while they arrived in a flurry, there’s nothing at all temporary about their status now.   Those that wanted to stay could have found jobs, and secured permanent status as citizens.

Those that remained on temporary status will go home, with one last handout of about $2,000 to help them adjust. Seems pretty fair, or at least a modest way to resolve a longstanding predicament.

Mostly, Democrats are whining — the Haitians help to buoy their voting bloc. But CNN and MSNOW also hauled out relic Republicans like John Kasich and Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine to complain. Dewine never worried about the Springfield residents who lived in town before boatloads of immigrants arrived. He and Kasich are a couple of dirt bags, plain and simple. Here’s more from Mark Dice,
