TPS Potential Philippines Designation

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary, humanitarian form of relief for those who are in the United States in the case of an ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster in their country of origin.

On Friday, November 8th, Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, affecting millions. The devastating impact makes the Philippines a well-suited candidate for TPS designation.
