Obama Grants Haitian Immigrants Temporary Protected Status
----------------------------------------------------------



Undocumented Haitian immigrants living in the United States have been
given temporary protected status. Any Haitian that was in the country
before the earthquake struck will be allowed to stay for eighteen months
and allowed to work. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said
any Haitians that attempt to travel to the United States will be sent
back to Haiti.
