to asylum. However, refugees were not told the significance of the movement between subcamps. Bush announced that the US would begin slowly emptying the refugee camps and instead solely return the Haitians trying to escape persecution back to Haiti through Executive Order 12,807 called the Kennebunkport Order in May 1992. The order did not screen the Haitians for potential to seek asylum as earlier policies technically required. The administration expressed fears of the camp inspiring Haitians to try to leave and favored a harsher policy to discourage escaping by boat. As the claims of the refugees at Guantanamo were processed, the refugees were slowly relocated, brought to the US, or often repatriated throughout the end of Bush's presidency. From its beginning until March 1992, 34,000 refugees had passed through the camp. Permission to pursue asylum in the US was given to roughly a third of them. A small group of refugees was kept at Guantanamo. The remaining refugees at Guantanamo were approved for filing for asylum but tested positive for HIV or had family of those who tested positive and therefore continued to be held at Guantanamo at a section of the base known as Camp Bukeley. Presidency of Bill Clinton Bill Clinton had campaigned against the forced repatriations during the 1992 US presidential race. He changed his mind shortly before taking office in 1993 and instead continued the Kennebunkport Order policy of forced repatriation. He wanted to stabilize Haiti and reinstall Aristide through force in part to discourage more people from fleeing. Meanwhile, 270 refugees remained in Camp Bulkeley due to their connection to HIV. They were brought to the US after a legal battle headed by the Haitian Centers Council. The HIV camp closed on July 18, 1993. Less than a year later, Guantanamo was again opened to hold refugees in June 1994. The new camp held first Haitians then Haitians and Cubans. Cubans only began to be sent to Guantanamo after Clinton reversed a nearly 30-year-old policy of immediate amnesty for Cubans arriving to the US. However, the Cubans were treated noticeably better than the Haitians. In an effort to decrease the size of the camp, the US tried to convince other countries in the Caribbean or Latin America to accept either Haitian or Cuban refugees. Up to 21,000 Haitians were held in Guantanamo at one time during this wave of the Haitian refugee camp. More than
