(152 posts)Her children are at no risk of deportation. The way the system works is that selected people from the out groups are allowed in. Also, the system lets the elite practice charity, as long as they dont challenge inequality. I wish all the children well, no children are responsible for adult choices. But this system sucks.

(196 posts)I presume they are citizens. (I have relatives who adopted from Colombia) One was adopted in 2005 and the second one in 2010. Temporary Protected Status for Haitians didn't start until Aug 2024 so they obviously didn't have TPS. https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-haiti

To address that person's nonsense, the republican governor actually said he was happy they were there, and IN FACT, the city RECRUITED THEM to come there. They were not "dumped" on Springfield, OH. They were mostly INVITED, and according to numerous managers of businesses, were hard-working and reliable.
When you're a wingnut though, and all you ever watch is Faux Nooz and that ilk, you never actually take in any FACTS, only propaganda. And you just can't IMAGINE that a community would WELCOME a bunch of black people. It's not fathomable to their racist brains, ergo, it's extremely easy for them to be convinced that everyone there HATED it.
It's funny too, they tried to talk about how all of US are 'insulated' from the terrible plague of Haitians, as if they were right there, suffering themselves, and none of us liberals could understand the horror from our ivory towers
It's like every one of them is part of a hive mind, and came straight out of central casting, to spout their BS talking points

A common MAGA comment is that immigrants have tons of people living together in one room apartments, as if that's proof of something bad.

(1,373 posts)Those children KNOW what she did. And I wont be surprised if they decide to part from her. And the next school year, how is Justice Barrett going to to handle if those kids are targeted by others. They cannot live in a whiteish bubble forever.

(1,373 posts)Regardless, they will know. and as they integrate into society as adults they will always have that challenge, I bet they were raised by the adoptive parents in a bubble, a big problem in some interracial adoptions.

(41,605 posts)I figured they probably had either tutors or an exclusive private school. I did not realize their ages at this time.

(3,211 posts)Matt Bevin the former Governor of Kentucky and a dirt bag. Adopted some kids from Africa used them for political props and at least one of them at the age of 18 ended up living in a homeless shelter in Louisville, so this type of stuff is on brand for them.
