[color="DarkRed"]Liberia: Obama Signs One-Year Extension for 'Temporary' U.S. Residents:

22 March 2009

Washington, DC

Liberians living in the United States under 'temporary protected status'
will be allowed to stay for another year, according to an executive
order signed by President Barack Obama on Friday.

Some 3,600 Liberians living in the United
States - out of an estimated 250,000 - are affected by the decision.

The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program was established in 1990 to
allow nationals of countries at war to stay in the United States without
fear of deportation. Those registered under TPS are allowed to work and
required to pay taxes, but they cannot qualify for benefits such as
welfare or food stamps.
