Now We Also Have an Ebola Amnesty

There’s no such a thing as too much amnesty. Just ask Obama…
The Obama administration is granting temporary protected status to roughly 8,000 people living in the United States whose home countries are stricken with Ebola.
The move by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is intended to protect people from being deported back to places experiencing disaster conditions.
The government will allow people from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone to apply for protection from deportation and for work permits that last 18 months, officials told Reuters.
Grants of protected status will be re-evaluated after that period based on the state of the Ebola epidemic.
That might sound defensible, but as Michelle Malkin has pointed out, Hotel Amnesty is like Hotel California.
Once you check in, you’re here for good.
In October, the White House extended TPS status and employment permits for an estimated 90,000 illegal alien Hondurans and Nicaraguans “for an additional 18 months, effective Jan. 6, 2015, through July 5, 2016.” Who are these TPS winners? Well, they’ve been here since 1998 — when Hurricane Mitch hit their homeland. That was 16 years ago. Their “temporary” status has been renewed a dozen times since the Clinton administration first bestowed it.
And they’ll have kids who are born here and be undeportable under Obama’s brand new amnesty.
