Authorize the Department of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protective Status (TPS) to Myanmar due to the floods.

We respectfully request Pres.Obama to direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to designate Myanmar as a country for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), pursuant to 8 U.S.C §1254a, as a way to meaningfully augment current humanitarian efforts of the United States to assist citizens of Myanmar affected by the nationwide floods.
Under this section, a country may be designated for TPS if it has been impacted by a natural disaster that has “result[ed] in a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions” such that the country is “unable, temporarily, to handle adequately the return” of its nationals currently in the United States. 8 U.S.C §1254a(b)(1)(B)(i) &(ii).
