End of TPS in the United States:
Haitian Organizations Advocate for the Establishment of a Humanitarian Corridor to Assist Haitian Migrants “CHAMHA”.
“The Migration Is Not a Crime,” say the leaders of Haitian-American organizations working to establish a humanitarian corridor to assist Haitian migrants in difficulty around the world, particularly those in the United States following the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
The humanitarian corridor aims to provide legal assistance to migrants, humanitarian aid to migrants in need, protection of the property and assets of Haitian migrants in foreign countries, and support for the social and family reintegration of Haitian migrants in the event of deportation.
There will be focal points in every U.S. state to assist Haitian migrants in the event of arrest.
In Haiti, there will be three focal points to support TPS deportees: one in the Greater North, one in the Greater South, and one in the West.
In the medium term, the initiators plan to expand their presence to Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, and the Dominican Republic.
The Haitian diaspora has contributed enormously to supporting Haitian families back home and to Haiti’s economy. We cannot leave the victims of TPS alone.
We must give Caesar what belongs to Caesar and change the clothes for those who have shed their sweat for the country.
The initiators of the movement intend to work with state institutions in order to better coordinate their humanitarian actions. These include, for example:
The Embassies and Consulates of Haiti abroad;
The Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE);
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship (MAEC);
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MAST);
The National Office for Migration (ONM);
As well as relevant United Nations agencies dealing with migration, including UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Therefore, Migration is not a crime.
All Haitian migrants experiencing difficulties around the world should be entitled to a form of protection and support, including humanitarian assistance and legal services.
These are the objectives behind the establishment of the Humanitarian Corridor to Assist Haitian Migrants “CHAMHA.”
