SummaryUnited States immigration policy towards Haitian and Cuban immigrants is often discussed for its discrepancies. Historically, both countries have experienced political and economic instability that have inevitably led to massive out migration, a large portion of which headed towards the U.S. Nonetheless, American policy towards both groups of immigrants has not been consistent. Although Haitians also suffer from political persecution, human rights violations, and economic disparity, they have greater difficulty than Cuban immigrants in attaining asylum in the U.S. Politicians have provided ideological justifications to back special treatment for Cuban migrants; however, current U.S. policy toward Haitian and Cuban immigration is outdated and should be revised to promote stability and democracy in both countries. As such, if the goal is to deter further immigration, the U.S. should look for ways to aid the Haitian people ensure stability and economic growth.
