To send Liberian families back to a country with 85% unemployment is only one of the reasons that would make this action unconscionable.... 20968@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_3123.html#20836 I hope this bill will pass in the senate. This bill is the only hope for many Liberians and the future for american born children of Liberians. Extending the legal stay of Liberians for one more year is only a temporary solution to a serious predicament, but it will bring some temporary relief to Liberian families currently under TPS status.... 20836@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_3123.html?rev=8190 <p>H.R. 3123 would extend the designation of Liberia under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act so that Liberians can continue to be eligible for temporary protected status under that section.</p> <h2 id="toc4"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Extends the designation of Liberia under the Immigration and Nationality Act as a country whose nationals are eligible for temporary protected status and work authorization in the United States.</p> <p>Sets forth eligibility requirements for Liberian nationals or for persons having no nationality whose last habitual residence was Liberia.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc5"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 8/3/2007: Referred to Senate committee.
