Trump’s massive deportation plan: New York’s Haitian community ‘in shock’

That is why around 200,000 migrants have decided to settle in the Big Apple, especially in Little Haiti.

A number of residents of this area interviewed by Noovo Info do not see Trump’s decision to proceed with a large export project favorably.

“We are in shock. We are under pressure, says Marithsa Gitson, a Haitian refugee and community worker. My family and I feel threatened because we don’t know when Trump will make his decision. “

Ms. Gitson wonders if the Trudeau government will open the border to immigrants who are at risk in the United States.

10 to 20 million migrants could be sent back to their countries of origin if Trump’s plan is implemented.

Tatiana Clouthier, who was the Minister of Economy in Mexico, was confident about the risk that thousands of migrants could be deported.

“We have already worked with Trump. And everyone said it would be terrible, and that wasn’t true,” she explained in an interview with Noovo Info.

Ms. Clouthier says, looking at the figures, we see that the Obama government was tougher on immigration than it was under Trump.
