Many Haitian migrants who arrive from South America and Mexico find themselves stuck waiting for work authorization. Federal officials blame the long wait on labor shortages, as well as a backlog of applications left to them by the Trump administration.
About 200 people gathered for the Solidarity with Haiti demonstration at John F. Kennedy Federal Building in Downtown Boston to protest the inhumane treatment of Haitian immigrants at the Texas border in September 2021.
Royal Caneus, 41, tells a similar story. He’s a “guy who gets things done” and is ready to do whatever job he can find once he gets his paperwork. But he worries that may never come. A spokesperson for USCIS told the Dorchester Reporter that “adjudicators evaluate each EAD application fairly, humanely and efficiently on a case-by-case basis, and the agency remains committed to upholding America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity and respect for all we serve.”
“I am disappointed by the ongoing backlog of TPS applications that has hindered so many of our Haitian neighbors from living a dignified and stable life,” said Pressley. “Undoubtedly, U.S. policies regarding the Haitian people have perpetuated anti-Blackness and exacerbated injustice. It is past time to prioritize humanitarian relief. I won’t stop fighting for a just immigration and foreign policy.
“We have people who applied almost a year ago,” she said. “We applied for their work permit, and they’re still waiting." Rev. Dieufort “Keke” Fleurissaint, a Mattapan pastor who helps IFSI assist the migrants, said it’s sad that after harrowing and heartbreaking journeys, paperwork has become the latest obstacle. He has personally written more than 150 letters of support to the U.S. government in an effort to help speed along the process.
