An editorial in Monday’s Washington Post calls for temporary protected status for Haitians, noting that “Haitian immigrants more than qualify” for the protection. The editorials states: “The State Department cautions visitors that there are no ‘safe areas’ in Haiti, and that ‘kidnapping, death threats, murders, drug-related shootouts, armed robberies, break-ins and carjackings are common.’ Yet, it is U.S. policy to deport the estimated 30,000 Haitians in this country back to this hotbed of violence and squalor.”
