The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti has long been plagued by crushing poverty, political turmoil, gang violence, and devastating natural disasters.
In a statement Monday, DHS said it expanded the TPS program for Haitians because of the"prolonged political crisis" in Haiti and the gang violence there, as well as the scarcity of food, water and fuel in the country amid an uptick in cholera cases.
There are currently 101,000 Haitians in the U.S. enrolled in the TPS program, according to DHS statistics. The government is also reviewing 53,000 pending TPS applications from Haitians. The program's new cut-off date is expected to make another 110,000 Haitians eligible for TPS, the DHS data show. Democratic lawmakers had been pushing the Biden administration to expand the TPS program for Haitians, saying the move would not only serve a humanitarian purpose, but be beneficial to the economy as well.
