The Biden administration looked toward the unraveling and desperate situation in Haiti this week and recognized the suffering of a beleaguered people.
Acknowledging that “extraordinary” conditions exist in the Caribbean nation, so close to Florida’s shores, the Biden administration on Monday extended and expanded legal protections for undocumented Haitians living in the United States. The measure included those who have been here for years and those who arrived as late as Nov. 6 of this year.
It was the right thing to do, given the disturbing surge in political upheaval and economic troubles in Haiti.
