President Trump is ending temporary amnesty for nearly 1,000 Liberian nationals who have been allowed to stay in the United States for almost three decades. In a new directive to his Department of State and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Trump announced that thousands of Liberian nationals will need to return to Liberia after being allowed to stay in the U.S. since 1991 when thousands were first granted temporary amnesty due to a civil war in the African country.
DHS officials told Breitbart News that about 840 Liberian nationals will need to return to their home country by March 2019, at the latest.
Trump writes in ending the temporary amnesty:
Through consultation with appropriate executive departments and agencies and my advisors, I have been informed that conditions in Liberia have improved. Liberia is no longer experiencing armed conflict and has made significant progress in restoring stability and democratic governance. Liberia has also concluded reconstruction from prior conflicts, which has contributed significantly to an environment that is able to handle adequately the return of its nationals. The 2014 outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease caused a tragic loss of life and economic damage to the country, but Liberia has made tremendous progress in its ability to diagnose and contain future outbreaks of the disease.
Accordingly, I find that conditions in Liberia no longer warrant a further extension of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED), but that the foreign policy interests of the United States warrant affording an orderly transition (“wind-down”) period to Liberian DED beneficiaries.

Ok. What about millions of illegals that remains here? Shouldn’t they get deported too?
Temporary has a meaning......again.
OH NO!
Aren’t we supposed to love Liberians?
We have to make it as difficult to be an illegal alien as we possibly can.
Citizens have to produce documentation for daily life, make illegal aliens do it and they will go home.
Almost three decades; that’s really stretching the word ‘temporary’.
rofl, a “temporary” amnesty that’s lasted 27 freakin’ years!!
Our politicians and bureaucrats truly are disgusting.
Liberia, where they curse their ancestors for leaving America.
Good news !
.
I wonder just how many temporary situations our country has authorized and then completely forgot about. All need to go. Illegal, temporary, skipped on VISAs, etc.
He should have ended temporary amnesty for all Kenyans too, and ship Obama back to his homeland.
What does Trump have against Librarians? I mean I understand the aggravation of overdue book charges, but this is just over the top!
I have a Liberian neighbor.
He says American blacks are ‘lazy’...................HA!.............
And while I agree with the action to send them home, I can't help but feel a little bad for some of these people who were basically (and wrongfully) allowed to build lives here by previous administrations of both parties.
They should've never been brought here in the first place.
No, it’s the NIGERIANS we’re supposed to LOVE. You know, these are the highly literate folks who send those delightful emails soliciting your banking information so they can send YOUR half of the $40 million seized from their late father by the now deposed dictator.
Yeah, those guys!
Good. For crying out loud we’re not Motel 6 for the whole world.
I have no doubt that Americanized Liberians will be a net plus for Liberia.
Winning!
Really should get rid of all the Somalis.
“What does Trump have against Librarians?”
Librarians?!
I thought he said “Libertarians”.
