TPS: Haiti's illegal immigrants given temporary protection in US
The Department of Homeland Security said it would offer Haitians who were here illegally before Tuesday's earthquake temporary protected status (TPS). Haiti has 100,000 people living in the US illegally.

In a move supported by both Democrats and Republicans, the Obama administration Friday extended special protection to some 100,000 Haitians living illegally in the United States that keeps them from being deported.
The Department of Homeland Security said it would offer Haitian nationals, who were already here when Tuesday’s earthquake struck, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. That status, which would allow them to legally work, will not cover Haitians who flee their country following the devastating 7.0 quake that resulted in as many as 50,000 deaths and left its capital, Port-au-Prince, in ruins.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said it’s “tempting for people suffering in the aftermath of the earthquake to seek refuge elsewhereâ€"When injustice become law, resistance becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson

Just as I have been asking with regard to a general amnesty:
How will they be able to tell whether someone was here before the order or sneaked in after it? Desperate people lie."Men of low degree are vanity, Men of high degree are a lie. " David

You know they didn't identify those 30,000 within the last year. Why has it taken so long to deport them? Pretty clearly, they are letting more Haitians in than they can deport.
This is not an acceptable level of immigration enforcement. How dare they clear the visa, immigration, asylum... backlogs and leave illegal aliens just hanging out waiting for amnesty!!!!!!!!!
