OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES PLAN TO ADMIT 100K+ HAITIANS Two-and-a-half weeks before the midterm elections, the Obama administration has announced plans to allow the massive importation of more than 109,000 Haitians, acquiescing to an aggressive lobbying campaign that has spanned more than four years. That campaign was led by advocacy groups including the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH) which have criticized President Obama for not acting before now. According to an announcement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Haitian Family Reunification Parole program will begin in early 2015. The program will offer eligible Haitians a chance to come to the U.S. up to two years before their visa dates would normally allow.
