Injured Haitian children win humanitarian visas to the U.S.
Injured Haitian children win humanitarian visas to the U.S.
As many as 260 injured Haitian children will be eligible to travel to the United States for life-saving medical care, thanks to a Miami doctor and Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.
The youngest earthquake victims are being granted humanitarian visas so long as a doctor in Haiti deems that the child will die without advanced medical care. Immigration officials could follow the doctor's advice in issuing the exit visas.

Joubert Pascal recounts how the Bush administration showed little leeway for his fellow countrymen from Haiti but is now holding out hope that the Obama camp may offer some leniency.

Snippet(s):
"Pascal and South Florida immigration advocates welcome the Department of Homeland Security's recently announced priority to target employers who hire undocumented workers instead of the actual laborers, but they also view the new focus with caution and concern."
"The wait-and-see stance among South Florida immigrants and their allies comes after DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano ordered an overhaul of the federal agency so that it focuses more on prosecuting the employers who hire undocumented workers, rather than on the employees themselves."
"South Florida immigration advocates say workplace raids occur in South Florida, but that they tend to be low profile and fewer than in other parts of the country. Still, some say DHS's shift could signal a new direction."
&
"Operation Endgame is the DHS initiative that seeks to expel all undocumented immigrants by 2012. Return to Sender was a 2006 DHS sweep that apprehended more than 2,000 immigrants with criminal records and other status violations."
