Central Americans and Haitians no longer need protected status, State Dept. says
 
Quote:
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sent a letter to acting DHS secretary Elaine Duke to inform her that conditions in Central America and Haiti that had been used to justify the protection no longer necessitate a reprieve for the migrants, some of whom have been allowed to live and work in the United States for 20 years under a program known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Tillerson’s assessment, required by law, has not been made public, but its recommendations were confirmed by several administration officials familiar with its contents. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

DHS has until Monday to announce its plans for roughly 57,000 Hondurans and 2,500 Nicaraguans whose TPS protections will expire in early January. Although most arrived here illegally, they were exempted from deportation after Hurricane Mitch devastated Central America in 1998. Their TPS protections have been renewed routinely since then, in some cases following additional natural disasters and resulting insecurity.
Not looking good for the TPS folks...

They won't go back.

They will simply reenter the shadowy realm.

ICE will chase former TPS Central Americans and Haitians.

It will keep them busy for years and years.

The few TPS beneficiaries I know are very arrogant about it. Almost in par with the Cuban refugees in Florida. It sucks but some don't deserve TPS.

Now that DACA is closed, eligible TPSers can't apply.

Hate to say it but smart move from Trump Admin.

Close DACA and then end TPS.

I used to work with an Honduran woman who filed a marriage petition which didn't work. She is also trying to file a family petition from her son.

She was a really mean lady that had no shame judging others. I don't wish any ill on her but she was evil. It was a toxic workplace. She was on TPS.

This can further make her unhappy.

Its pretty hard because they've been here super long (like us), and established themselves here for years.
I can't imagine, because we at least have some hope, but they literally haven't had any mention in the news in the last couple weeks.

Theres a guy whos super friendly and the nicest guy at work who has TPS, and his wife is from Mexico on DACA, WITH 2 kids. I just can't wrap my head around all of this stuff man. smh

Exactly. These people have built lives here. It's unnecessary, cruel, and heartless.

what's wrong with you guys? it's basically the same thing they are doing to us. My dad has TPS and has been here 20 years, pays taxes and owns an apartment.

Dreamers throwing others into the fire just because some TPS holder treated them badly at some point.
