Some Liberians on Temporary Protected Status in U.S. want Permanent Residency

About 10 thousand Liberians living in the United States under a special immigration status are calling on President Obama’s administration and the U.S. Congress to grant them permanent resident status. These Liberians who fled their country’s civil war since 1992 have been living in the United States under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED).

Each year they rely on the President of the United States to grant them temporary reprieve by extending their stay. In September 2007 President George Bush extended the DED for 18 months which expires in March this year.

Anthony Kesselly, national president of the Union of Liberian Associations in the Americas (ULAA) told VOA Liberians want a permanent solution to their immigration problem.

“Actually what Liberians want is a permanent resolution of the problem which basically is giving them permanent residency status. That’s why we have been pursuing legislation in both houses of Congress for a more permanent solution. We want to take care of the problem once and for all,â€

Let Obama pay for them personally.

No, deport all immigrants when due to be deported.

Why the Hell are the children of immigrants here on TPS allowed to become US Citizens.

If these TPS recipients are allowed to become citizens then all the other TPS immigrants will apply too.
