(Technically, they have been granted Temporary Protected Status - TPS. As Juan Mann demonstrated for VDARE.com readers years ago, this program is essentially a fraud. As Mark Krikorian is quoted as saying in The Christian Science Monitor this evening:
"As far as I've been able to determine, not a single person who has ever been granted this 'temporary' status has later been deported."There is, of course, absolutely no reason to alter the legal status of the large number of Haitians who have stolen residence in this country, even if some actual deportations have to be delayed.

School Districts Preparing For Possible Influx Of Haitian Students cfnews13.com Reported by Kelli Cook January 15, 2010
ORLANDO — Haiti's massive earthquake has left millions of its residents looking for a place to call home. Gov. Charlie Crist seems confident the state of Florida is prepared to take in a sudden influx of Haitian refugees and U.S. citizens living in Haiti... the Catholic Church in Miami is formulating a plan to bring Haitian refugees to South Florida.
Unless Patriots react, this threatens to be the start of a major invasion.
A modest proposal: after Katrina, families from my local Sacred Heart School took girls from the New Orleans Sacred Heart into their homes for the school year.
