Message from Eric W. Stromayer :

"Hello,

I have some important information to share with you. If you are considering going to Nicaragua and then traveling overland to enter the United States illegally, please think twice. This journey is uncertain, costs a lot of money and involves a lot of dangers.

We will deport all those arrested who were seeking to enter the United States illegally by land and will no longer have the right to enter the United States by legal means.

Haitian citizens have other, better, safer and more affordable ways to go to the United States such as the Biden administration's Humanitarian Parole conditional stay program.

Too many people make this dangerous journey, where they cross several countries they do not know and then the disappointment awaits them once they have spent all their savings and risked their lives.

Smugglers who traffic illegal immigrants abuse migrants like thieves do. Too many people have already suffered acts of sexual assault and violence or lost their lives. We don't want any of this to happen to them.

There is another better option available for you and your family. Approximately 84,000 Haitians have already been approved to return to the United States through the Humanitarian Parole program https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-40872-haiti-flash-usa-conditional-residence-program-nearly-2-million-applications-awaiting-approval.html this program is free and allows you to reside and work in the United States legally for 2 years.

The only thing required is a valid Haitian passport and someone who lives in the United States with legal status and is able to sponsor you. This person could be a friend, a neighbor, a family member, or even an organization.

Please take care of yourself and the people you love and carefully consider the conditional residency program, it is the best way to enter the United States.

Thank you very much"
