REUNITE HAITIAN AMERICAN FAMILIES

Haitian-Americans, immigrant justice and human rights advocates have urged the creation of a Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program for the past four years, ever since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake killed 250,000 people and left millions homeless.

President Obama, you can put an end to this now by instructing Jeh Johnson and the Department of Homeland Security to create and implement a Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program.
