However, I stronly disagree with Janet Napolitano implying that it would be worse for Haitians if they could leave Haiti. If that is true, then why is it a good idea to grant TPS to Haitians in the U.S.? Wouldn’t it be better to send them back to Haiti?

The country of Haiti has, essentially, been destroyed, and the people are living in terrible conditions. How could it not be a compassionate move if the U.S. allowed Haitians to come, by choice, to the U.S. as refugees? TPS was a great start, but the U.S. government has a long way to go in their Haitian immigration policies.
