Special immigration status doesn’t reach all Haitians in US

And the long term recovery in Haiti could also depend on Haitians who are living in the United States and sending money and support back home. Immigrant rights advocates have been calling on the Obama Administration to suspend deportations to the country. And last week, Obama did just that. Today, the Administration is authorizing the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to issue Temporary Protected Status to more than 100,000 undocumented Haitian nationals living in the United States. But not all Haitians in the US are going to enjoy the benefits of the temporary status. FSRN reporter Kristofer Rios of the Community News Production Institute has more from New York.
