People that are suspected of preparing to leave are beaten and imprisoned. why then would those having left. be safe? Without any effective mechanisms to monitor or protect repatriated Haitians. we cannot in good conscience continue this policy. I strongly urge support for the Conyers amendment that would grant temporary protected status to all Haitians. Until we can assure the safety of those persons returned. we must offer them the protection that international law requires. The administration claims that granting this temporary protection would result In a magnet effect. giving the incentive to many more Haitians to take to the high seas in rickety. overcrowded and illprovisioned boats.
