Lebanese Temporary Protected Status Act of 2006 - Provides one-year temporary protected status to certain Lebanese nationals who have been present in the United States since enactment of this Act. (Treats Lebanon as a designated country for such purpose under the Immigration and Nationality Act.) Provides such aliens with prior consent for temporary emergency travel abroad.
This law grants one-year temporary protected status to Lebanese nationals already in the United States, allowing them to live and work legally during that period. It also permits them to travel abroad and return without losing their status.
This is a narrowly tailored immigration measure specific to Lebanese nationals, with no direct bearing on Israel/Palestine policy or funding.
