@sue.oconnell.nbcboston: Maude’s been thinking a lot about what “temporary” means in Temporary Protected Status, you know, the TPS that Haitians and Syrians in the U.S. are at risk of losing. She’d like you to know what that word is actually doing in the regulation. “Temporary” refers to the country’s conditions, not how long the person’s been here. That’s not my take, it’s how the law defines it. If Haiti hasn’t stabilized, the designation hasn’t outlived its own definition. Make sure you take a moment to smell the flowers today!
