"" Haitian immigrants already in the U.S. will not only be able to make money to support themselves, but also to send remittances to their suffering families back in Haiti," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said in a written statement. "

The push is on to extend more visas for family members of Haitians already in the USA.

It’s 2:30 in the afternoon on Friday and Leo Noel, a 50-year-old Haitian immigrant, sits in a taxi queue at Penn Station in Newark. It’s a job he works often seven days a week to support his family here and in Haiti.

Noel, of Irvington, is a legal resident and has lived in the United States for almost 20 years. He sends money to Haiti every week to help support his adult children in Port-au-Prince.

Sending money to relatives back home is an unwritten rule for Haitians in the United States — legal residents and illegal immigrants alike. Together they send an estimated $1 billion to Haiti each year.

It’s the humanitarian thing to do; it would be cruel and senseless to deport anyone back to Haiti now. But advocates for Haitian immigrants say the United States needs to do more to help those legal residents who, like Noel, have left relatives behind and are trying to legally bring them to the United States.

He’s filed for visas for his two adult children.

The U.S. State Department should do the same for families like Noel’s. He worries how much longer his relatives will have to remain on the devastated island, especially his daughter, Jolaivia Noel, 25, who has no means of support and relies solely on the money he sends her for basic necessities such as food and shelter.

“She is very poor,” he said. “That’s why my daughter’s got to come here.”

Bill Nelson is giving them work permits so they can do the jobs that unemployed Floridians won,t do. Bill Nelson has been exposed as a progressive socialist and will be tossed out with Obama in 2012. The question is how much damage will he do in the meantime.

Just why in hell don't one of these useless victims change the law so that anyone who wants in, can move into the USA?
And if you don't know the answers to that, perhaps you don't belong here either.

Well we can’t just ship them back now. Where is your compassion? Where is your decency?
