I found this article on the New England Ethnic News website. It tells how our own John Kerry was one of fifteen senators around the country who wrote and signed a letter to President Obama detailing their desire to "grant temporary protected status" to Haitian nationals currently living in the US. Basically, allowing them to stay in this country rather than deporting them to their ravaged nation is benefical to them and the relief efforts going on in Haiti. This letter, based on "common sense," was written just one day after the horrible earthquake, which shows that these senators were very quick-thinking.
