Immigrants Are Making Ohio Great





20 years ago, Springfield, Ohio, had a problem. Like many communities in the Rust Belt, it seemed like good times were a thing of the past. Once a manufacturing hub, the city had been losing population for decades, with rising unemployment and falling incomes. City leaders set about turning things around, developing a strategy to lure businesses of all kinds to the city. By all accounts, this strategy has been a success. In 2008, a major new hospital was built in the city, bringing in 1,800 new jobs. In 2011, a local university, Clark State, built a large new conference center. Millions of dollars were then poured into revitalizing the downtown, tech companies moved into the region and opened new manufacturing plants, and in recent years, local retail shops in the downtown have begun to thrive. But with success came new challenges; with new businesses pouring into town, the demand for labor increased significantly, and the local labor supply wasn’t enough.

Enter immigrants. Around 2013 to 2014, Haitian immigrants began arriving in the town to fill open job postings. They found a community with a low cost of living, a high number of jobs, and a good quality of life. Those who initially settled in the town then told people back home about Springfield. Over the next decade, more and more Haitian immigrants made their way to the town, due to individual decisions and not government action, filling job openings and working hard in their new community. This organic process sped up in recent years, not only as the situation in Haiti grew more dire and the Biden administration created new legal pathways for Haitians to flee a collapsing country, but also as demand for labor in Springfield continued to rise. As of today, Springfield officials say there are anywhere from 12,000 to 20,000 Haitian immigrants living in the area, near all of whom have some form of lawful status.

US policy toward haitian immigrants is part of a long, troubled history

 

Shocking images have emerged of Border Patrol officers on horseback charging toward Haitian immigrants in and around the border town of Del Rio, Texas. Thousands of Haitians have come to our southern border as conditions in their home country continue to deteriorate following a devastating earthquake in August and the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July. Though the Biden administration acknowledged the horrific conditions in Haiti as it extended Temporary Protected Status to Haitians in May 2021, it has decided to remove thousands of Haitians from our southern border.


The administration’s treatment of Haitian migrants has received extensive criticism. Yet its actions are a continuation of a long history of mistreating Haitian migrants.

Which Countries Could Get Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Next?

 


By: Melissa Cruz - www.immigrationimpact.com

By the end of the Trump presidency, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was all but destroyed. The former administration had attempted to end crucial protections for the hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people who benefited from the status.

Now, just a short time into the Biden administration, those protections are being restored or extended.

Foreign nationals already living in the United States whose countries have been designated for TPS will once again be able to live and work without fear of losing their status. Without these protections, people could be forced to return to a country experiencing war, famine, or environmental disaster.

Estados Unidos Revoca Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) Para Haitianos


En su más reciente medida de represión contra la inmigración, el gobierno de Donald Trump anunció que revocará un programa especial de inmigración para casi 60.000 haitianos, entre ellos varios que llegaron a Estados Unidos tras el devastador terremoto de 2010 en Haití. El gobierno de Trump ahora afirma que su estatus de protección temporal, terminará en julio de 2019. 

Esta es Marleine Bastien, directora ejecutiva del grupo Mujeres Haitianas de Miami, en una entrevista para Democracy Now! a principios de este año.

Marleine Bastien expresó: “Es de interés nacional para Estados Unidos que los más de 50.000 haitianos permanezcan aquí y sigan contribuyendo de manera social, financiera y demás, para que estos ingresos sigan fluyendo, para que la gente no arriesgue sus vidas para venir aquí como resultado de estas olas de deportación”.
