Formal request submitted to give TPS to Syrians in the US, volags involved
Posted by acorcoran on January 31, 2012
Since the open borders crowd has been so successful in keeping hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the US (Salvadorans, Haitians, Liberians, Somalis etc) through Temporary Protected Status they now want to secure TPS “protection” for Syrians presently in the US due to the turmoil on-going in Syria.
So who is next? — TPS for Yemenis, Egyptians, Libyans, Palestinians and the list goes on!
Just a reminder that Mark Krikorian at the Center for Immigration Studies shrewdly noted in 1999—there is nothing quite so permanent as a temporary refugee!
Here is the news:
On Wednesday, January 25th, United for a Free Syria (UFS), in close coordination with a broad coalition including the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Syrian Expatriates Organization (SEO), Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), Syrian Americans for Democracy (SAD), South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), and Refugee Council USA (RCUSA), has formally requested that the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, to Syrian nationals presently in the United States. The request was sent directly to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
UFS understands the urgent need to file for TPS and will continue the political lobbying behind this effort at the US Congress and the White House as well as all relevant agencies. The thorough petition has been sent not only to DHS, but also to the Office of the Secretary of State, the National Security Council, and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. The petition cites numerous facts regarding the current Syrian regime’s atrocities from numerous international governmental and non-governmental organizations, including Human Rights Watch and the United Nations, among other reliable sources.
Since two of the top refugee contractors (highlighted above) are in on this, I can only assume there is money to be made as visa overstays, illegal aliens, Syrian students, and Syrian tourists are magically transformed overnight into formal “refugees.” There must be something more tangible in it for the volags besides the joy of enhancing our ethnic diversity.
One final thought. As the refugee program itself comes under greater scrutiny (the numbers are down under Obama), I think those looking to bring ever greater numbers of immigrants to the US are just searching for more creative ways to get the job done. TPS is one such legal program.

Guatemalan Foreign Minister wants Temporary Protected Status for fellow countrymen in US illegally « Potomac Tea Party Report said
[...] Just recently TPS was extended for Salvadorans who have been here illegally for more than a decade. We’ve also extended TPS for Haitians who got here illegally prior to the earthquake. And, now in light of the turmoil in Syria, an open borders cabal* is asking for TPS for Syrians. [...]

Apparently the media and Obama Administration’s much touted “Arab Spring” will result in the “springing” of thousands of the “democracy enhanced” citizens of said countries into the USA.
Obama et al should pat themselves on the back for helping to turn these countries into Muslim Brotherhood “utopias” where citizens are now fleeing in droves – and American taxpayers will be funding them and their extended families (many in perpetuity) at a time when our own Country is in economic despondency.
