The AP reports that President Obama has issued an executive order extended protection (“deferred enforced departure”) for twelve more months. Advocates for the extension are pleased. As I wrote previously, I also support this extension, but for the reasons explained in that longer post, I hope that during this twelve months, some legislative solution can be found, permitting the Liberians who have been here so long and established lives here, to stay.
