This week, following the horrific 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti, a number of politicians and journalists began calling on the United States to give TPS to the one to two million (by most estimates) Haitian nationals that live in the country. 
Juma hili, kufuatia tetemeko baya lililofikia kipimo cha 7.0 ambalo liliikumba nchi ya Haiti, wanasiasa na waandishi wa habari kadhaa waliitaka Marekani kuwapa hifadhi ya aina hiyo raia wa Haiti wapatao milioni moja au mbili (kwa makisio ya juu) ili waweze kuishi katika nchi hiyo bila bugudha.
