I think it odd that the president targets this particular population, given how small it is. I know a girl this applies to, whose husband recently died, who is a supervisor at Navient, and just recently had a baby. Her kid is American, she's still technically Haitian. Obviously her family will all be deported, and given that her husband's family did not "approve" of their marriage, if she's allowed to stay, which is a big "if," she'll be here by herself. I can't imagine, a how a skilled young woman who came here as a young teen, married a citizen, had a baby, then endured the death of her husband, could possibly survive in Haiti with a bi-racial kid. 60,000 people? Really? That's a make or break number?
TPS is a program that shouldn't even exist. If you bring people from war torn, economically disadvantaged, or natural disaster area, and they see how comparatively easy it is to make a good life for themselves, they're not going to want to go back. If they're brought here legally, then in light of what I stated earlier, they should either be given the opportunity to stay, or they shouldn't have been extended the offer in the first place.
Kut..... It's not that I have no feelings for the "girl you know who is affected by this". I do.
But it seems to me, that you only 'retain' the portions of anything you read that agree with your position.
The article CLEARLY STATES that, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke "gave the immigrants 18 months, to secure a different immigration status".
