UNITED STATES NEEDS TO EXPEDITE IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS FILED ON BEHALF OF HAITIANS CURRENTLY LIVING IN HAITI

The fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that Haitians living in the U.S. will be protected by temporary protected status was a great humanitarian gesture.  The U.S. government, however, needs to go a step further and expedite the processing of immigration petitions filed by Haitians living in the U.S. on behalf of their family members who are currently living in Haiti.  Canada has recently announced that it will expedite processing of immigration applications for Haitians currently living in Haiti who have been sponsored by Canadians.  We need to do the same.  While TPS assists Haitians living in the US it does not help those currently living in Haiti.
