AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHaiti TPS Shock to U.S. Jobs: A Supreme Court green light is triggering the end of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, and the immediate economic hit is already showing. In Coldwater, Michigan, federal deadlines strip hundreds of Haitian workers of legal work authorization starting today, forcing employers to scramble as livelihoods “freeze” overnight. Short Reprieve, Then More Uncertainty: USCIS extended work permits for about 350,000 Haitian TPS holders until July 24, but the reprieve is temporary; in Florida—home to the largest Haitian TPS population—advocates warn many employers will cut staff before the next deadline. Local Labor Fallout: Reporting from South Florida and other cities shows panic among healthcare, hospitality, construction, and food processing firms that rely on TPS labor, with some workers already losing pay and drivers’ license eligibility. Policy Pushback: Community rallies in Miami, Springfield, Bridgeport, and Atlanta are urging Congress to pass Senate Bill 4814 for permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship. Regional Cost Pressure: Separately, ECLAC warns higher oil prices tied to Middle East disruptions could worsen inflation and trade balances across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
