TPS Bill in US Congress

Three US congressmen plan to introduce immigration legislation [Friday 4/20/07] to help more than three thousand Liberians living in the United States on Temporary Protected Status obtain Permanent Residency Status. Freshman Congressman Tim Walberg of Michigan, is a Republican sponsor of the bipartisan measure, known as the Liberian Refugee Immigration Protection Act of 2007. He says that Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf supports the measure, and he denies that it would cause a “brain drain“ that could deprive Liberians of some of their most talented and best educated citizens.
