That's false. The repub governor brought them in little by little, starting in 2020, under something called the Temporary Protected Status Program.
The actual program itself was created by Congress in 1990, long before Harris was a factor.
Haitian immigrants in Springfield legally under Temporary Protected Status. Here’s how that works
"Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is an immigration designation available to Haitians and foreign nationals from 15 other countries that
allows them to live and work in the U.S. for up to 18 months, subject to extension or redesignation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Many Haitians in Springfield are eligible to apply for TPS status and once approved for TPS they can immediately apply for a work permit. Immigrants who have the TPS designation or are applying for it may also apply for asylum, but face long waits for consideration of their asylum claims...
Congress created TPS in 1990, giving the executive branch authority to designate countries undergoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevented nationals from returning...
There is no pathway to citizenship with TPS and immigrants can be deported once the period of time covered by the authorization ends. People who’ve been granted asylum or refugee status can apply for citizenship."
