WASHINGTON The U.S. will not grant temporary protected status to people from the Bahamas displaced by Hurricane Dorian, an administration official told NBC News.
The status would allow Bahamians to work and live in the U.S. until it is deemed safe to return home. The same status is currently granted to over 300,000 people living in the U.S. from 10 countries, including the victims of Haitis 2010 earthquake.
Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said on Monday that the Trump administration was considering whether to grant temporary protected status to people fleeing the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian devastated two major islands there.
Bahamians can still come to the U.S. temporarily, if they have the right travel documents, but will not be granted work permits.

from someone who allows the placement of children in cages without adequate food, clothing, or medication? This is Just another example of the lack of empathy or compassion in this incompetent, bigoted Orange Buffoon. He is a gross embarrassment.
