Obama allows 215,000 illegals to stay in U.S. another 18 months because of 2001 earthquake

A 2001 earthquake? This has to be the thinnest fig leaf ever. The truth is President Obama is engaging in election year pandering to the Latino vote.
The Obama administration has extended temporary protected status to El Salvadoran nationals through late 2013, shielding them from deportation and forcible return to their home country.

The Department of Homeland Security cites ongoing disruptions from a series of earthquakes in 2001, concluding that "El Salvador remains unable, temporarily, to handle adequately the return of its nationals."

The Obama administration's deportation policies have come under scrutiny, just as the president has geared up for his reelection campaign.
