President Donald Trump's push to completely overhaul and reform the U.S. immigration system has been an overall success, despite a continuous string of court cases, though the administration is having great success in winning many of them.
According to Breitbart, the latest bombshell regarding immigration policy came via Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which reportedly ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for tens of thousands of Haitian migrants -- the ones that came over in droves under former President Joe Biden.
The ending of the program applies to the tens of thousands of Haitians who do not have any other protected status in the United States.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the program would be ending soon, with target dates of Aug. 3, and effective via Sept. 2.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement explaining why it had determined that the program should come to an end, despite massive pushback from the left.
"This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary," a spokesperson for the agency said.
It added, "The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible."
Republicans have charged that the program is more like a de facto amnesty program.
Breitbart noted:
For over a decade, the federal government has rewarded Haitians, many of whom illegally entered the U.S., with TPS — a sort of quasi-amnesty created for migrants under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990 (INA).
Since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as nearly every president has routinely extended and designated new countries for TPS status.
Bidend had expanded the program to its highest levels since the inception of TPS.
Users across social media reacted to the news of the ending of the TPS program.
🚨 HOT DAMN ALERT: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just ended TPS status for ~521,000 Haitians—no more legal protection or work permits.
For those hiding in towns like Springfield, OH 🤷🏼♀️ you’re not invisible anymore.
