| U.S. Immigration Policy on Haitian Migrants – with Guerline Jozef from Haitian Bridge Alliance |
|
On the 11th episode of Immigration Today! Angeline Chen interviews Guerline Jozef, President of Haitian Bridge Alliance. Guerline is a woman on the move with a passion to serve others and promote her beloved Haiti. Haitian Bridge Alliance is a nonprofit community organization that assists thousands of refugees in their journey to America. Their mission is to guide, elevate, and empower Haitian immigrants through advocacy, organizing, outreach, and direct services such as Immigration detention visits, transitional housing, legal assistance, and educational, social and cultural programs. Haitian Bridge Alliance is the only Haitian female-led organization that provides support in Mexico at the U.S.-Mexico border. Guerline seeks to create a community and a movement that is inclusive of all people. She makes sure that black narratives are at the forefront of her movement while attempting to make real systematic change for everyone. She was recently honored the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.
In this podcast Guerline discusses her background and what led her to start this organization. She also goes into the current state of things in Haiti – from political turmoil, the crisis at the Southern border, and the mass deportation of asylum seekers from the Biden Administration. |

| "The Biden Administration has sent 114 deportation flights to Haiti while they are in the middle of extreme political chaos, while the President has been assassinated, while they had a second earthquake that destroyed thousands of lives … the Administration felt it was okay to deport people while Haiti continues to deal with these extreme conditions."— Guerline Jozef |
