Friday Sep 12, 2008Following the devastation caused by hurricanes Gustav, Hanna and ike, Haitian activists Wednesday called on the United States to grant temporary protected status to undocumented Haitians here. "The U. S.
government heartlessly continues to let deportations take place without regard to human tragedy," said Randy McGrorty, executive director of Catholic Legal Services. Several South Florida grass-roots activists joined together to urge President Bush to grant temporary legal status to Haitians who are here without proper immigration documentation. Another reason for granting TPS, they argue, is that Haitians who are working here would be able to send more money home to help loved ones if they had legal status. Haitians in the United States sent $1.65 billion in remittances to Haiti in 2006, according to the Inter-American Development Bank
