WASHINGTON — The U.S. will not grant temporary protected status to people from the Bahamas displaced by Hurricane Dorian, an administration official told NBC News.

The status would allow Bahamians to work and live in the U.S. until it is deemed safe to return home. The same status is currently granted to over 300,000 people living in the U.S. from 10 countries, including the victims of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake.

Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said on Monday that the Trump administration was considering whether to grant temporary protected status to people fleeing the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian devastated two major islands there.

Bahamians can still come to the U.S. temporarily, if they have the right travel documents, but will not be granted work permits.

As of Monday, 1,500 victims of Dorian had come to the U.S. after the hurricane swept through the Bahamas.

4. We should not be suprised.

He has NO empathy or compassion. If he endorses locking up kids in cages away from their parents, why would we believe he has any sympathy for these victims? He is an embarrassment and needs to be gone. November 2020 can't come soon enough!

12. Bahamians are mostly Black. You can bet if catastrophe hit Norway, Norwegians would be let in. nt

5. Trump saw through their elaborate ruse, millennia in the making

First, those wily Bahamians caused their archipelago nation to form just off the coast of Freedomland (aka The United States of Under God America). Then they all stood on the shore (you could see them from the South Portico of the White House, and Trump did) and waved and flapped their arms, creating Hurricane Dorian. Then, once Dorian hovered over their islands, they waved and flapped their arms in the other direction, causing it to stall for three days and wreak unimaginable devastation.

And now those tricky Bahamians are using this regrettable, but totally preventable and it's their own darned fault, catastrophe to try to come sneaking into the United States and suck up all the goodies, leaving real Americans to die, starving in the streets. Their nefarious scheme was thwarted only because God had the foresight to install Donald Trump in the White House, and stop these ravening hordes in their tracks.
