Obama Extends Protected Status for Liberians for Twelve More Months

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.
