Mayorkas noted that it doesn't apply to Haitians outside the U.S. and said those who enter the country may be flown home. To qualify, Haitians must have been in the United States on May 21.

But then-Presidentshifted course and began deporting Haitian arrivals in 2016. Many then started calling Mexico home.

Factories are known to hire foreigners, but he no longer had a work permit.
