Email President Obama today and ask him to allow Haitians to stay in the US under Temporary Protected Status while their country continues to recover from the four hurricanes from last fall. These storms destroyed 15% of Haiti's GDP, the equivalent of eight to ten hurricane Katrinas hitting the US in ONE month.
Today's editorial in the Washington Post is another in a long line of calls (New York Times, Miami Herald) for the Obama administration to change U.S. immigration policy towards Haiti and grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haitians already in the United States. As the voices for a consistent and humane TPS policy grow, so do those in opposition (Washington Times). YOUR voice needs to be heard.
