Description
Haitians seeking to escape from poverty and despair are flocking to the main migration office in the capital Port-au-Prince hoping to get a passport and perhaps their ticket to life in America under a new US immigration program. Under the policy announced by President Joe Biden, the United States will accept 30,000 people per month from Haiti and a handful of other countries mired in crisis -- Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela -- but on condition they stay away from the overcrowded US border with Mexico and arrive by plane.
