7:37 am
i am thinking about the last time i think many of our audience would be thinking about haitians and haitians seeking safety and security. and that was just over a year ago, september 2021 on the border of the u. s. patti claim, who is one of our reporters, we put it on scenes that were incredibly distressing to see. i just want to remind our audience the last time we really focused on haitians. let's have a look. this. oh, these are the al jazeera pictures causing outreach post united states. oh, desperate and hungry. he should migrants trying to make it back to a makeshift camp with food and water met by force. good. 6 0 so then he as a one is going to remember those pictures. they were so shocking. but after that,
7:38 am
there's an even bigger story about how many haitians were deported. very, very quickly, out of the us, tell us more what we saw in those videos and pictures are extremely disturbing. actually for the 1st time, last week i was able to speak with the gentleman you fall in the picture, the one that was being abused by the gentleman in uniform. and he went into the hell to explain what happened to him. and i couldn't stop crying because when he went into the tell to say what happens to him in how he felt that that moment he thought he was going to die. and he felt like he escaped and inter and his voice was disappeared. finally, and deported. he's still in hiding right now, because i've been asking, or i've been, have you the same people?
7:39 am
he fled once again after him. so what we saw in that we'll in 2021 is september of 20. 21 is the we ali see of black people in the us mexico border that we have been explaining for very long time in the way that the united they have been moved. treating them is, is our wages. and i can share with you that almost all of the people we saw wishing w i have been reported, have been expelled, close to 26, how been haitian of people, or patients that have been sent to a see. and then by been alone and we, i will share that because the same time within 2 months we're able to receive in a welcome over 26000 people from ukraine, willie and then being the mistreatment of black people at the us,
7:40 am
mexico border within the immigration system, so i want, i want to be very clear on this. they might think, well, united states has a border at the end of having the security code of irregular migration. the white house causes irregular migration. so why shouldn't they be sent back to haiti? but there are u. s. laws and actually international laws about people being able to seek asylum. and none of these haitians were given the opportunity regardless of what happened to them on their way or back at home. jake? yeah, that's exactly right. i mean the authority that the administration used to undertake these deportations, these explosions was under a public health law called title 42, which is implemented by the trump administration. and though it might be framed as a public health law is a back and way to enforce draconian and racist immigration policies by the chopped administration. the reality is that the binding stations simply continue to do that
7:41 am
. and the result of that is basically denying the right legal right to seek asylum on the behalf of these asians, of course, but also many other nationalities as well. j a. jake, thank you so much for that. i'm just going to bring in a story of a young man that i met when i was in haiti, he'd been deported from the us. he was running from violence. and i want you to hear and see a little bit of his story because with little i know you have so many more stories to share with us. but let's have a listen to jack festival. john is 26 years old. he used to live in port a prince, but he's now in hiding outside of the city. i believe he's a fight to return home because he says a local gang accused him of writing them out to the police. in this it was and got the them about them. i was a get a far one, a you out that your already know it b. yep. i read as
7:42 am
a disabled fuck your package when, when by wacky idea, says to wake up to revise the v w i some way for me with the scheme. se remembered the ave for me with bob while mom, him because of your mean us brutal. they've been very, been with come deal with all that's one reason for haitians wanting to leave haiti. what are the others when he is in the most difficult, much difficult situation today? i think the other binding this for the accounts when it comes to, you know, what happened to them when the cross the border of the us. but it, today you have a very, extremely difficult situation of insecurity or, and, you know, thousands of people have been keep notes on, you know,
7:43 am
phone to from, from the past year. but this year also me many, many years. again, sessions will tell you, for instance, that the level of violence that we are seeing more than 100000 people, you know, escape violence situation and 83 percent of them actually were displaced by, you know, again, violence. you have clear out in the country that was surfaced in october. we're about, you know, 200 people were killed by the disease now. and you have more than a 1000 actually close to 2000 of infections. you have, you know, i said something about hunger situation, which is a silly concerning because you have a lot of people and actually more than half of the country, close to half of the country in i'm go situation. when you took all of these things, you took the insecurity to declare the question that people will try to relieve and
7:44 am
they are fleeing a situation that is in part caused by u. s. policy. we can talk about the gun situation in haiti where you have, according to the justice department, the most guns that are retrieving crimes in 80 comes from the u. s. and you also have the cute administration which is supported by the us. and this administration is increasingly being disputed by population. let me bring in some thoughts from our audience who are watching all 3 of you now right now, guess i'm going to give you 3 points and you can just build off the back of them. but very briefly so that you can include our audience in the knowledge that you know. all right, so miss labelle, katie says, i am glad that the u. s. supports ukrainians, but i wish this benevolent act was expend, extended to most or all people gillian, very briefly on this in that exactly. thank you so much for the commenting. that's
7:45 am
exactly what we are saying, though. well, coming up with dignity of your queen, requirements shall not be an exemption to the world, but it shall be the war by which we welcome people, regardless of their skin color of country of origin. i'm so that's where we're yelling it. no, no, i was thinking i was thinking maybe the u. s. immigration system is a broken system, which is why so many haitians were picked up. they didn't, weren't allowed to apply for asylum and they were, was sent to haiti, but it's not broken. it's may be how it is managed, that is broken because when you get an emergency like crane, that was okay. absolutely. and i don't think it is book and them, it's working exactly the way they had to work and haitian for black black people. but the patient please,
7:46 am
this is not the 1st time. abuse has been applied upon our so we did this whole the way the system is working is not lost. and we always say you, why is it that when it comes to haitians, when it comes to black people, the violence instead of air? why do we always have to pull our money versus people if they happen to have the right path for the director of us, the they been the far the line for them with the right path for the right color. but when it comes to haitian insert, you've all we, violet, jane. this in the, such that you did that was, was very telling which was about how many flights left the us and went to haiti in the past. you and you just track these flights. and these are the people taishan flight. can you tell us briefly what you found out because this is really,
7:47 am
this is the immigration policy or the deportation policy of the biting administration as it stands right now. yeah, exactly. and just to piggyback on the previous point to i think this is really important, right? i mean the example of the treatment of your clients and also show is what is possible, right? we often hear with haiti and the response as well. we don't have the capacity, we don't have the capability, the boarders over run, we don't have the staff. well, here we can see what they want to do with will right with political will. and so that does make the dream innovation, the conscious decision, right? this isn't just passes and i think that's a really important distinction. so you know, these flights, i think this is a really important point because we don't know very much about how the system actually works. it's being to, it's taking place behind closed doors and out of public site, right. and so the only way we're able to track these flights, we're able to get information about the numbers of flights that are actually going to is by using flight databases and then trying to figure out which contractors have con, you know, have the contracts to fly deportees back under department,
7:48 am
homeland security, immigration and customs enforcement. and doing this all sort of, you know, outside those official channels. right. and so it was really shocking to see these huge optics and flights. right. and is that a time where september 2021, that was just a month after very devastating earthquake at the southern peninsula of haiti. and what we noticed, you know, also is that many of these people were being sent back, were actually from that southern peninsula, got sent right back into a disaster. so what i found, very illuminating with little was as i was talking to the 14th from the u. s, he went back in hating the treatment they received when they were in facilities in the united states. not allowed to wash or bass for 2 weeks. they were shackled on the way back to haiti. mothers with babies were shackled there any, any hygiene items, deodorant, soap was taken away from them. so the whole process was the humanizing. and then
7:49 am
it looks like that process was deliberate. to scare the deportees into, telling people back in haiti do not try to come to united states. these terrible things will happen to you in the research and the an analyst on the analyzation of what's been happening. it's been finding that that was torture. that migrants were being taught shared with you. how does that jell with what you've been reporting on what you've been seeing? yes. amen. when you took the suit this magnets, i wasn't the ground for a boston to washington was last year, especially for the 1st big ways. and one thing that strikes me and that kept repeating for migrants to d. o to my grants is how shots they were. how surprised they were to be mistreated
7:50 am
and you know, by agents from, from the u. s. and many of them actually were so surprised that such thing would happen while they were in facilities. and as you say, many of them are pointed not being able to take that many of them actually suffered physical abuses from, from asians. so some of them will, you know, put in chains in the planes coming back. many said to me, the last items, including ideas that they had on there, etc. and these treatments, as you say, are being considered maybe were infected because the try to make an example of these people. and when they are back to 80, maybe they can tell their story. so people know can be deterred to come to the us. but what, what is important for people to know is nobody choose to go on
7:51 am
a journey where they know they can die where they know. busy they are going to lose everything including their lives for nothing. each. the situation in haiti that is difficult and it's the palace is actually that were implemented for the past 10 years, at least in this country. that brings us to the situation where we in right now, i spoke to the state department as i was doing this, reporting the 4 lines and about the situation. and the treatment deportees killing, covered that color as fire fuel shortages. these are not situations where you would naturally want to send people back without hearing their asylum process. so when i say to the state department, i asked them about this situation with haitians. and i want you to hear a little bit of that discussion. have a list and have a look. 25000,
7:52 am
at least haitian asylum seekers migrates, came to the u. s, looking for somewhere safe to live and they returned back to haiti. so migration and issues around repatriation are obviously extremely complex and difficult. this is something that the biden administration has taken on board and looking at a hemispheric wide solution to migration because the migration of course is not as coming from haiti when the haitian asylum seekers are being deported back to haiti . and they see a difference between how they're treated and how other asylum seekers are being treated for instance, ukrainians family. as i said, these are extremely difficult questions that involve people's lives and people's wellbeing. and that is something that the state department and the broader us government is doing everything that we can to address those estimates, the department of homeland security or we contacted them for this show and they
7:53 am
decided they weren't going to be on the show. but they said a couple of things via email i want to share with you guess, and you can tell me, are we heading towards a way of treating haitian to pull teas, humanely or haitian seeking asylum, or asia migrants will have mainly with this, with this suggestions he suggestions from the department of homeland security, the haitian family reunification, parole program. that means that certain haitians can move to night estates if they have family members, girlie. and i'm going to ask you to do this very briefly. 20 seconds is that helpful? not happening. they have said that you will do it, but today there is absolutely the will watson efforts actually to make this happen . so what i'm saying that we're all tired of excuses when an action, okay. temporary protection status is now extended through to 2024 with nor is that helpful. will that stop?
7:54 am
i'm going to ask. yes. again, anyone to answer all of your questions? go ahead. no, no, i hope all right. lisa has not been extended. i hate see, thank you. i had a missed information and missed misunderstanding what has happened. even we continue doing the 30 of 2020 feel d h s use for hold us. yeah. that that is, or if we will, the ramos kids but it's still in the court in california. it's not for hate this specific. if you let me move on and just put in getting a little bit more gully. i thank you for the correction. i appreciate that. all right, so on youtube, i'm just going to go to youtube. whitlow so that we can answer some of these things . there is concern that there is a different way of patients being treated from europeans being treated. i think this person has take towing around the word racism. are you seeing racism in this
7:55 am
relationship between the u. s. and haiti? well, i don't know if i'm the best person to seek aboard this issue. what i do know is the folks that were sent back to haiti accounts for those, those people, the team, frankly, of racist act. i think no other families can speak about that. but if anyone knows about residency, anyone who knows about the treatment of black people in the us can see similarities between you know, how haitian migrants being received their respects, the not being afforded. understanding of their situation that is not recognized. is the same with you know, history of respite. this is in mrs. smith's treatments of black people in the west, and i'm not seeing any difference whatsoever. i'm going to bring in showing
7:56 am
a sporting brown has on you to thank you, shawn for watching this. shawna says, i am so ashamed as an american they do not want black and brown people here that's . that's a big statement. i think you need to live in the u. s. to, to really appreciate what's actually means. every spoke to robert and he wanted to share this with us, have a listen, have a look and enjoy peace bill to back of robin's thoughts of a 40 years ago, u. s. congress passed the refugee protection act with overwhelming bipartisan support. protecting the right to seek silence for all persons, regardless of the color of their skin or the country in which they were born. yet we have a long history of denying this right to patience. for the past 2 years, they've been blocked and expelled from seeking asylum at our southern border and sent back to their country, which is in a worsening crisis. the use u. s. government recognizes that to haiti is not as safe place and has rated at at a level for security risk and granted temporary protected status. last year to
7:57 am
haitians are ready in the country. it's long past time for the u. s. government to abandon these to terrance based strategies that are harmful and do not work. and instead embrace a policy of welcoming haitians with dignity and following out migration laws. like is this like they? yes i, you know, i completely agree with that and i think, you know, there's 2 points that i'd want to be in. one is that the miss treatment of patients in our immigration system, not only is a historical reality, but has been sort of the tip of the spear of the korean, our modern carts, role, immigration system. so the detention centers and you see the prisons that we're holding migrants and right, this started as a response to a wave of asia migration 40 some years ago. right. and then the other point we need to consider here, right, it's not just the missed treatment at border. right. there's a reason that haitians are playing and it's not just this, just the current situation on the ground, but the product of a history, right?
7:58 am
and a history that i noted states and other foreign powers have been extremely involved, right. and so when we're talking about the root causes, so talking about, i'm going to leave it all as, yeah, the root causes of the relationship between haiti and the u. s. and y haitians are coming to the united states and then going to put it back. that is something that we will delve into even deeper on the next foot line to feel no country. the haitians. as in premier, november the 23rd at 20 to 30 g m t, darlene jake with law and the u. s. thank you for being part of today's program. i see next time i am african american from african perspective. i knew series of short documentary by african filmmakers from across the continent.
7:59 am
ah, a wicked direct coming soon on josie. a with growing up in greece means taking action. welcome to generation change a political theory. i think the understand challenge, the idea of mobilizing you around the world, we need a political party that will talk about our problems. now, how come from a generation? because there is a beating theme, the great society system. there's no promote the interest of working class people.
8:00 am
there is a difference between being able to participate in the system and an actual being represented in the system generation change on al jazeera. it's a simple act, applying a flag, but in the occupied westbank we think the palestinian flag could get you shocked or arrested. there's also a ports of the $900.00 ninety's between the palestine diversion organization and israel bound on the palestinian flag was listed. but on the ground it's becoming much harder to express. any type of support for the palestinian call. one day there are no palestinian flag. the next mysteries are filled with it's a b, y t your net by young men. we're not even born. wendy is really government for the or the palestinian flag for me rescue teams and indonesia.
