The potential suspension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is poised to affect a significant number of Haitian migrants in the United States. Estimates indicate that between 370,000 and 500,000 Haitians may face uncertainty as a result of this policy shift.
Key Details from Advocacy Perspectives
Guerline Jozef, representative of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, spoke about the implications during a recent interview. She highlighted that the suspension would impact long-term residents who have been in the U.S. for over twenty years, as well as newer arrivals who entered through Mexico.

Despite the challenges they face, many Haitian nationals play a vital role in the U.S. economy. Their contributions span various sectors, which underscores the importance of fair immigration policies.
Potential Consequences of TPS Suspension
