1. Editorial in Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna"
on 9/11, entitled "Optimism for TPS." "Cresencio Arcos,
Director of International Affairs for the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, and Dan Fisk, Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Western Hemisphere Affairs, visited Tegucigalpa to
participate in a forum analyzing the benefits of CAFTA."

"However, the most auspicious news given by Arcos during his
visit was about the issue of our immigrants in the U.S. He
said that there are good possibilities that the U.S. will
extend TPS once more, although he said the final decision
will depend on the results of the electoral process in the
U.S."

"For us, even though an extension is much better than
nothing at all, it's more important to achieve a permanent
and definite solution for our immigrants, to relieve them
from the constant distress of not knowing what will happen
to them every time their TPS expires. If the Maduro
administration achieves that, it'll definitely be a great
hit."
