Per an Amnesty International post (a separate AI email asks recipients to thank Obama for this), currently viewable at http://blog.amnestyusa.org/iar/re-president-obama-extends-tps-to-haitians/ , USA Dept. Of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has given "temporary" protected status to 100, 000 on grounds they WILL get jobs in the USA, WILL get immediate homelessness preventing houses, and WILL thus rebuild Haiti through their own effort(?).

One asumes this really means "Haitians can come to the USA, expect the same deal Latinos got during Bush and which Obama "took care, of, heh-heh!" with mortgage bank bailouts, and cry when they see their Haitian dictator get no-strings funds from the USA inter alia without requirement HE allow Haitians to do or be anything".

I know we live in an age where "what will OTHER nations think of the USA, that's all that matters to global jobs/trade" is the mantra, but come on...why must it ALWAYS be flashpoints of human evolution cursed with ten thumbs having the best of intentions but chronic inability to expand the status quo, for nationals, immigrants, and almost everyone on the globe?
