U.S. Army Retired

Why not just send them back, that way they could help out in the rebuilding of Haiti. I think this is a bad move for Obama to do this. We have enough problems with Mexican illegals as it is that is putting a strain on the American taxpayer.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday it will allow Haitians who were already in the U.S. illegally to remain for the time being because of their country's catastrophic earthquake.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano granted the temporary protected status on Friday, two days after she temporarily halted deportations of Haitians, even those already in detention. The protection is only available to Haitians already in the country as of last Tuesday, and allows them to stay and work for 18 months.

Napolitano told reporters that the temporary legal status is an act of compassion.

Frankly, while I agree in principle, this would be a death sentence for a number of them, Hatti is apparently about to collapse entirely. (Not that they have that far to fall, sadly.)

Under the circumstances, I think the illegally present Haitians should be placed in prisons for the next few months, then repatriated.

The airport is in shambles, dozens of dock-workers were killed by the initial earthquake, the roads are in ruins, and thousands upon thousands of people have yet to receive any assistance whatsoever.

The nation is in chaos, despite the effort of well-trailed, experienced, well-equipped response teams.

Right about now is the best time to send Haitians home if and only if your goal is to kill them.

I hear we have some room at Guantanemo bay?....or will be shortly

I'd be willing to bet that a stay there would beat what alot of them had before they left Haiti.

Indeed! Since western imperialism has destroyed their country from the start how ironic it would be to imprison them in that great symbol of American imperialism! Ho ho ho.

i like the compassion and reasonableness of it
that it provides a loophole for EVERY illegal in our country is a concern; overnight, any illegal subject to deportation would be able to buy themselves safety by declaring themself to be haitian

The Messiah is looking for every excuse possible to give amnesty to as many invaders as possible.

It's not like he wants to protect America or anything like that.

No, what destroyed Haiti was the black slaves that took it over.

Haiti has never been worth a **** since the revolution. That's saying a lot, since the people they kicked out were French.

Here's a question:

That 7.0 earth quake rocked the entire island.

How's the Dominican Republic holding up?
