Back in 2018, during Donald Trump's first term in office, he reportedly called Haiti and other places "s**thole countries" during a meeting with members of Congress on immigration policies.
That reported remark from Trump of course caused Democrats and their supporters to do the usual "take the opposite of whatever position Trump stakes out" thing, and as a result we saw optics like this:
Many other celebrities and Dems joined in on the "Haiti is great already" trend.
Fast forward a few years, and Temporary Protected Status has ended, meaning it's time for many to head back to where they came from.

If only some of these people could force themselves on occasion to just admit that Trump was right, but that will never happen.
