<p>> If you’d like to go tell Bill Clinton that the bill he championed and signed into law in 1991 is racist then be my guest. That was the last time our immigration laws were amended.<p>This is an irrelevant strawman. Whether or not the last legislative modification to our immigration system was racist has nothing to do with whether the system as a whole continues to be enforced with racist motivations veiled by pretext or enforced in a racist manner.<p>> The immigration model we use in the US is that immigrants must ask permission to immigrate first, only arrive after receiving that permission, and not overstay their visa. Anyone who does otherwise is an illegal immigrant. If you don’t like that then ask your congress–critter to propose a bill amending the law.<p>Your immigration model is a model of a model. You are leaving crucial details out. Haitians in Springfield did ask for permission [1], did enter legally, and have been staying legally until the federal government revoked TPS without following its own procedures.<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334145">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334145</a></p>

<p>> They are both groups with a high likelihood of skipping town instead of showing up for sentencing.<p>Could you clarify how broadly you define both "groups" and provide a source demonstrating that either has a high likelihood of skipping sentencing, or even just regarding Haitians in Springfield? As far as I know, most Haitians in Springfield have attended immigration-related or -adjacent hearings and sentencing whenever required of them.<p>> And most of them were never refugees. They were economic migrants who were already in the country illegally when Haiti had an earthquake.<p>This is false on all counts. Most Haitians in the US (not just in Springfield) fled political crises or violence [1]. Most Haitians in Springfield entered the US legally under programs such as Humanitarian Parole and have been staying in the US legally for every second since then [2], whether or not their continued stay relied on TPS, until the federal government revoked TPS without following the federal government's own procedures.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/social-sciences-and-humanities/haitians-and-haitian-refugees" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/social-sciences-and-...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://springfieldohio.gov/immigration-faqs/" rel="nofollow">https://springfieldohio.gov/immigration-faqs/</a></p>
