Leaders Call for Haitian TPS
In February, Pres. Bush received a letter from President Preval asking for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) This would allow immigrants from Haiti to remain and work in the USA for a limited time.
So far the USA has refused to offer this status to immigrants from Haiti, but other countries such as Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador enjoy this status. For years, Haitian-Americans have pleaded for a halt to deportation. Over 650,000 Haitians were affected and 61 people died as a result of the latest hurricanes.
Because of the result of these hurricanes and storms that have ravaged Haiti, community leaders and politicians are calling for action. The Haitian Protection Act (HR522) is currently in committee urging the USA to extend TPS Haitian immigrants.
Hopefully these tips have been helpful. What do you think?

It’s sad that it took a natural disaster to make the government change its perspective on temporary protection status as these attorneys mentioned http://www.chb-law.com/haitian...../tps-haiti
Jean Pierre, thank you for commenting. We too are thankful for the outpouring of help and attention Haiti is receiving in response to the present crisis. But the fact is that Haiti has been overlooked for so long and, in our opinion, should have been designated for TPS years ago.
What will they do with the Haitians who have the tps when it is expired on July 2011?
