Those who have already made it in have a duty to help those trying to make it in behind them:

(Reuters) - Haitians in the United States are facing enormous pressure to help family and friends under a U.S. migration program announced this month that may help some people escape Haiti's escalating violence but is also putting strain on the nation's diaspora.

Giubert St Fort, a South Florida resident from Haiti said he was inundated with calls almost immediately after the Biden administration said on Jan. 5 it was opening a new legal pathway for migrants from four countries, including Haiti who had U.S. sponsors.

Guerline Jozef, executive director of non-profit immigration advocacy group Haitian Bridge Alliance, which is helping Haitians find sponsors, described the dilemma.

"People will say 'I have more than one cousin I would like to sponsor, I'm only able to sponsor one of them,'" Jozef said. "And that creates a major issue because how do you choose which one to sponsor?" She is also opposed to the expulsions of Haitians and other migrants arriving at the southwest border, many who are seeking U.S. asylum.

Jozef said immigrant advocates have long fought for measures such as humanitarian parole, but said the program should not be attached to systematic deportation or expulsion of immigrants seeking asylum.

Chain migration is deliberate cruelty. If one person can sponsor only one other person, we have to wait for that new person to acquire citizenship before they can then sponsor the next person. It is far too slow, as the pace is stuck at 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+..... Even increasing the number of people who can be sponsored from 1 to 2 would already be a considerable improvement, because then the pace would become 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+..... See how much quicker that would be?

Of course if we were in charge, we would not even require sponsors, and just let everyone in first. (Oh wait, that was what they actually did, but only for Ukrainians! https://trueleft.createaforum.com/news/ethnonepotism/ )
