Haitians Face Deportations After Reviving America's Turkey Town
The cessation of Temporary Protected Status, which in reality often lasts many years, would result in the deportation of 200,000 Haitians, Nicaraguans, El Salvador, and Sudanese who together have more than 200,000 children born in the United States. Deportations would separate families and create unneccesary suffering. It would also have negative economic consequences for companies like Butterball Tukey who depend upon an immigrant workforce. This is hard, dirty, and difficult work that would be hard to fill otherwise. Policies can be be sound from both a humanitarian and economic perspective at the same time - deporting hard-working people and separating them from their families when their labor is very much needed would be neither.
