Sen. Tommy Tuberville , R-Ala., speaks at a press conference across the street from the Manhattan criminal court, Monday, May 13, 2024, in New York. Trump was accompanied to court Monday by some of his top congressional surrogates, including U.S. Sens. Tuberville and JD Vance of Ohio. blasted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a letter Thursday, saying a program allowing refugees from Haiti - among three other countries - “should never have been implemented.
“This sudden surge of people has created safety, health, infrastructure, and economic concerns for residences,” Tuberville wrote. Tuberville’s letter follows several weeks of concern on social media and in public meetings about the effect of Haitian immigration on cities in various counties across North Alabama. It also comes at the same time that former President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers have specifically mentioned Haitians in criticizing the Biden Administration’s immigration policy.
Tuberville said, in the letter, that the program is “riddle with fraud, ”a significant security concern for Americans, and that the administration’s policies “have led this country down a path from which it may never recover.” The CHNV program, and others like it, “have changed the landscape of this country forever, and rural communities across the national will bear the brunt of this ill-conceived and harmful policy for decades.
