Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program Begins in 2015

10/20/14
 
Pembroke Pines, Fla. – The Department of Homeland Security recently announced the 2015 implementation of the Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program, which will expedite family reunification for Haitian family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Details on the announcement can be found by visiting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website.
 
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) has been a strong supporter of this program, signing letters urging the Administration to create it and holding a 2013 roundtable in South Florida with federal and local leaders.
 
“This is a great day for Haitian families, as the Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program will bring needed compassion and order to the migration process from Haiti,” said Rep. Wasserman Schultz. “It is also one more important step in the United States’ ongoing efforts to help Haiti recover, rebuild and prosper, especially since the devastating earthquake in 2010.
 
“I thank the Obama Administration for beginning this program next year. In particular, I want to recognize the advocacy of my South Florida colleagues Congressman Alcee Hastings and Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, who have championed this issue so effectively on behalf of their constituents,” Wasserman Schultz added.
