The US and Haitian refugees

This NPR piece about the disgraceful financial obligation imposed by France on Haiti in 1825 ('The Greatest Heist In History': How Haiti Was Forced To Pay Reparations For Freedom 10/05/2021) also gives a quick summary of the current situation of Haitian refugees trying to enter the US:

In recent weeks, thousands of refugees from Haiti have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border, desperate for a better life. Most left Haiti years ago, after a 2010 earthquake ravaged what was already one of the most dismal economies in the world. They had originally settled in places like Chile, but the politics of the region have made them feel unwelcome, discriminated against, and fearful of the future.

The Haitian refugees hoped the United States, under President Biden, would offer them a lifeline. They were wrong. The Biden administration has been sending thousands back to Haiti, even though Haiti is a disaster zone, and many of the refugees fled it years ago. Some of those the U.S. government forcibly sent to Haiti are kids who have never lived there.

The best thing I can say about the Biden-Harris Administration's immigration and refugee policies is that they are Not As Bad As Trump's. The faintest praise it is possible to give.

Vice President Kamala Harris stated their basic asylum policy very well: "Do not come. Do not come."
