Book excerpt: This report examines recent developments in US asylum policy, as well as some problems of a continuing nature, such as the interdiction of Haitians on the high seas. The first part provides a background to recent policy changes designed to stem the influx of asylum seekers. A discussion follows on the operation of Immigration and Naturalization Service policy and its immediate impact on the refugee scene in South Texas and Miami. Described next are the conditions in certain immigration detention centres. There is a section entitled 'Interdiction and detention of Haitians' which explains that interdiction circumvents rights to due process since it is carried out on the high seas, rather than on territory subject to US jurisdiction. General reflections on US asylum policy are offered. This is followed by a set of conclusions and recommendations relating to safe haven, interdiction, access to counsel, deterrence and conditions of detention.
Download or read book U S Immigration Policy on Haitian Migrants written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental, social, and political conditions in Haiti have long prompted congressional interest in U.S. policy on Haitian migrants, particularly those attempting to reach the United States surreptitiously by boat. While some observers assert that such arrivals by Haitians are a breach in border security, others maintain that these Haitians are asylum seekers following a 30-year practice of Haitians coming by boat without legal immigration documents. Migrant interdiction and mandatory detention are key components of U.S. policy toward Haitian migrants, but human rights advocates express concern that Haitians are not afforded the same treatment as other asylum seekers arriving in the United States. This report does not track legislation but will be updated if policies are revised.

Download or read book The Guarded Gate written by Norman L. Zucker and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P. This book was released on 1987 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study details the design and operation of the two major gates (overseas processing and asylum) through which people in need of international protection may secure entry to the Unites States. It deals with asylum issues and with the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) both in resettling refugees into their new communities and in offering sanctuary to the 'unprotected'. The authors have also conducted an investigation of the reality of American refugee policy. According to them policy questions are: who gets in? why? and how? The answer requires an understanding of the various factors which determine a superpower's humanitarian policies, and of the multiple actors who, in a democracy, oppose or unite their forces to advance, rebut or alter those policies. The authors prove their point by researching, as far back as 1790 and to such recent developments as the Indochinese Refugee Resettlement and Protection bill of 1987, the US record of admitting victims of persecution or oppression through overseas processing, and of confronting mass influxes of spontaneous arrivals. In this framework they debate the inter-relationships between the foreign policy of the United States and the criteria for admitting refugees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Islands of Sovereignty, anthropologist and legal scholar Jeffrey S. Kahn offers a new interpretation of the transformation of US borders during the late twentieth century and its implications for our understanding of the nation-state as a legal and political form. Kahn takes us on a voyage into the immigration tribunals of South Florida, the Coast Guard vessels patrolling the northern Caribbean, and the camps of Guantánamo Bay—once the world’s largest US-operated migrant detention facility—to explore how litigation concerning the fate of Haitian asylum seekers gave birth to a novel paradigm of offshore oceanic migration policing. Combining ethnography—in Haiti, at Guantánamo, and alongside US migration patrols in the Caribbean—with in-depth archival research, Kahn expounds a nuanced theory of liberal empire’s dynamic tensions and its racialized geographies of securitization. An innovative historical anthropology of the modern legal imagination, Islands of Sovereignty forces us to reconsider the significance of the rise of the current US immigration border and its relation to broader shifts in the legal infrastructure of contemporary nation-states across the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental, social, and political conditions in Haiti have long prompted congressional interest in U.S. policy on Haitian migrants, particularly those attempting to reach the United States by boat. While some observers assert that such arrivals by Haitians are a breach in border security, others maintain that these Haitians are asylum seekers following a decades old practice of Haitians coming by boat without legal immigration documents. Migrant interdiction and mandatory detention are key components of U.S. policy toward Haitian migrants, but human rights advocates express concern that Haitians are not afforded the same treatment as other asylum seekers. The devastation caused by the January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti has led Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haitians in the United States at the time of the earthquake. The scale of current humanitarian crisis--estimated thousands of Haitians dead and reported total collapse of the infrastructure in the capital city of Port au Prince--resulted in this TPS announcement on January 15, 2010. Secretary Napolitano also announced that Haitian children who were legally confirmed as orphans eligible for intercountry adoption by the government of Haiti and who were in the process of being ...
