Haitians Illegally in U.S. Given Protected Status
DENISE GRADY

The Obama administration extended a special immigration status
on Friday to Haitians living illegally in the United States
that protects them from deportation for 18 months and allows
them to work here.
Calling the aftermath of the earthquake “a disaster of
historic proportions,” the secretary of homeland security,
Janet Napolitano, said she was granting the designation, known
as temporary protected status, for Haitian immigrants because
their safety would be at risk if they were deported.
Administration officials said the special status would cover
at least 100,000 Haitians believed to be living in the United
States illegally, as well as about 30,000 Haitians who had been
ordered deported. Haitians who receive the temporary status
will be able to obtain documents allowing them to live here
and work legally.
The administration’s decision followed a rising chorus
of calls for the temporary status after the earthquake on Tuesday.
On Friday, 80 representatives and 18 senators, including Democrats
and Republicans, sent appeals to the administration to grant
the status, as did the conference of Roman Catholic bishops.
