The word of the last few weeks in international news has been Refugees. Whether made refugees recently, 1 year ago or 5 years ago, the issue of protecting individuals from a possibly volatile situation in their country. Several countries are facing the challenges of bearing the kindness that is helping this individuals but as the world is a large place there are endlessly differing opinions on assisting the refugees.
Well it appears that we've got good news for refugees that are seeking asylum in the U.S as of late. The U.S has extended Temporary Protected Status for Sudan, "The extended designation is effective May 3, 2016, through November 2, 2017." According to the USCIS and. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson the reason for this extension is the continued conflict in Sudan. It's in theme with other countries, the continued support of individuals in troubled situations and it's obvious that this extension won't be the ultimate solution. It's apparent that many strategies of approaching these issues will prove less effective then they should be but that's the reality of crises.
Overall, the continued issues of asylum and immigration are best approached with precaution and planning and positive news in the protection of individuals is refreshing. Still, let us not forget that these situations are delicate.
It's interesting to see how many important decisions about immigration have been made with stop-gap measures rather than legislation.
