[RED DEMOCRATICA] Coments. : HAITI : Obama otorga Temporary Protected Status TPS a hermanos haitianos.

 

Apreciados Compatriotas y Amigos Hispanos en general:

En primer lugar, les pido disculpas por molestarlos tan temprano, pero Ustedes saben que lo hago con mucho respeto y siempre por una causa que desde mi modesto punto de vista, merece darse un tiempo para atenderla y tomar accion.

Ayer, el presidente Barack Obama dio el visto bueno para extender un "Estado de Proteccion Temporal" (TPS siglas en Ingles) a nuestros hermanos y hermanas haitianas que viven en Estados Unidos, para que de esta manera, puedan trabajar tranquilamente y ayudar a sus familares y amigis en Haiti.

A continuacion, les adjunto el correo de invitacion de la organizacion "Amnistia Internacional" -de la cual soy miembro asi como muchos otros activistas de Nueva Jersey- para que firmen una carta de agradecimiento al presidente Obama. Tambien los invito a que se hagan miembros de esta organizacion mundial, para que reciban mensajes sobre las acciones que promueven a nivel mundial.

Estoy copiando el correo electronico, que ya he enviado a traves de esta organizacion, para que lo lean, abran su corazon y puedan tomar una decision.

Muchas gracias a todos por su paciencia. Dios bendiga a creyentes y no creyentes.
Humildemente,

President Barack Obama

Thank you for granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to eligible Haitians in the United States and your quick reaction in pledging much needed humanitarian, technical and financial support to the devastated nation of Haiti. The Department of Homeland Security's temporarily halting all deportations to Haiti is also a welcome step. However, there has been no decision to suspend the policy of interdiction at sea, which poses specific risks to Haitians who flee as a last resort and may be in need of international protection due to persecution or other serious human rights violations. Haitians fleeing persecution or other serious human rights violations have the right to seek protection in the US, but in flagrant violation of international law, they are routinely stopped on the high seas by the Coast Guard and returned to Haiti.

Statements made by Secretary Napolitano upon the announcement of TPS on Friday make clear that this policy will continue. Protecting the human rights of Haitians requires suspension of the interdiction policy.

Thank you again for the TPS decision made yesterday, and for the rapid mobilization of the US government to deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance to Haiti.

Sincerely
David Toledo, MA

Dear David,

Please join Amnesty International in thanking President Obama for extending temporary protected status (TPS) to Haitians living in the U.S. This designation allows relatives living here to financially contribute to their loved ones back in Haiti.

Amnesty International worked with our partners to send a letter to Secretary of State Clinton and Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano urgently requesting temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants and an end to discriminatory maritime interdictions.

We also encouraged Members of Congress to join two Congressional sign-on letters to urge the President to approve this measure. And yesterday the Obama administration responded by granting temporary protected status (TPS) to Haitians in the U.S.

Take a moment to thank President Obama for making this change that could positively impact as many as 100,000 Haitians!

And use this opportunity to urge him to rescind the interdiction-at-sea policy that could return fleeing Haitians to potentially dangerous conditions, in flagrant violation of international law.

Sincerely,

Sarnata Reynolds
Policy Director, Refugee and Migrant Rights
