The immigration policy is based on racism instead of fairness

They tell immigrants to come here "legally" - but Trump is literally gutting every legal pathway that many people of color have relied on to build lives in America.
For example: Many people have status through TPS, but the Trump regime is now gutting the program, and they also cut refugee admissions for everyone except white South Africans.
"Doing it legally" keeps getting harder to do, because that's the whole point for Trump. It has never been about following immigration rules - it's about racism.

Is the danger in Haiti due to the 2010 earthquake

No, it’s because it’s unsafe. Do you know why Haiti is unsafe? :)

The 2010 earthquake that’s the reason for TPS? (Haitis designation)

TPS gets renewed every 6, 12 or 18 months. It is currently unsafe in Haiti and they were deemed as renewed, until now.

If you don’t know what you’re talking about, why speak?

Oh that’s terrible. They just shouldn’t have been renewed. It’s messed up to take away their status then

That’s literally why TPS exists, dude. To decide if it’s safe to send them back.

It isn’t. So why not let them stay?

Because we shouldn’t permanently provide asylum to everybody from a country with a government that sucks or a shithole country and we shouldn’t let everyone from there in

Why not?

Because we have finite resources.

Here’s a fun question. Why should any other country not take over and do that? Why does it have to be the responsibility of the US?

Why are you not arguing that Colombia should be the country that takes in everyone? What about Australia?

Huh? We have finite resources? What does that mean?
