Authorize the Department of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protective Status (TPS) to Nepal due to the earthquake
We respectfully request Pres.Obama to direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to designate Nepal as a country for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), pursuant to 8 U.S.C §1254a, as a way to meaningfully augment current humanitarian efforts of the United States to assist citizens of Nepal affected by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
Under this section, a country may be designated for TPS if it has been impacted by a natural disaster that has “result[ed] in a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions” such that the country is “unable, temporarily, to handle adequately the return” of its nationals currently in the United States. 8 U.S.C §1254a(b)(1)(B)(i) &(ii).
