İ cannot believe you are ratiolising this. Refugees are not the same as criminals. İ agree it is not racist, but this is a violation of human rights. Slowly but surely rights of people in the US are being chipped away, like boiling frogs.
> They are both groups with a high likelihood of skipping town instead of showing up for sentencing.
Could you clarify how broadly you define both "groups" and provide a source demonstrating that either has a high likelihood of skipping sentencing, or even just regarding Haitians in Springfield? As far as I know, most Haitians in Springfield have attended immigration-related or -adjacent hearings and sentencing whenever required of them.
> And most of them were never refugees. They were economic migrants who were already in the country illegally when Haiti had an earthquake.
This is false on all counts. Most Haitians in the US (not just in Springfield) fled political crises or violence [1]. Most Haitians in Springfield entered the US legally under programs such as Humanitarian Parole and have been staying in the US legally for every second since then [2], whether or not their continued stay relied on TPS, until the federal government revoked TPS without following the federal government's own procedures.
