CBP commissioner Mark Morgan on Bahamians getting temporary protected status US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)commissioner Mark Morgan says the United States will offer temporary status to hurricane victims from the Bahamas. "If your life is in jeopardy in the Bahamas…, you're going to be allowed into the United States," provided that they are not deemed a threat, he said at the White House. Regarding an incident in which hundreds of Bahamians were told to get off a ship headed to the United States because they didn't have visas, he said that was a mistake. "There's going to be some confusion. That's what that was." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
