Looks like Donald Trump’s fears of “very bad people” when it comes to Bahamians devastated by Hurricane Dorian may have killed any hope that the U.S. would do the right thing offer temporary protected status to people who’ve lost so much in the storm.
According to NBC News, citing “an administration official,” the U.S. will not offer such humanitarian relief to Bahamians displaced by the hurricane.

An administration official speaking to CNN said the reasons were logistical: the number of people who would be eligible for TPS relief, the time it would take to provide the help; stuff like that.
While no one with federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department would go on the record with the news, it likely was foreshadowed earlier this week. That’s when Trump seemed to be, uhm, conflicted about sheltering the people living just some 300 miles from Florida’s coast.
