200,000 Salvadorans will be forced to leave the U.S. or face deportation as Trump administration ends immigration protection

By Washington Post Staff January 8 at 9:51 AM

The Department of Homeland Security will not renew the Temporary Protected Status designation that has allowed the Salvadorans to remain in the United States since at least 2001, when their country was struck by a pair of devastating earthquakes, according to multiple people with knowledge of the plan.

Individuals will have until September 2019 to leave or seek other means to obtain lawful residency. DHS will make its formal announcement later this morning, these people said.

The decision is likely to please immigration hard-liners who argue the TPS program was never intended to provide long-term residency.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

I am no longer shocked by the cruelty of the Trump Admin.

“Only Congress can legislate a permanent solution addressing the lack of an enduring lawful immigration status of those currently protected by TPS who have lived and worked in the United States for many years,” the announcement states. “The 18-month delayed termination will allow Congress time to craft a potential legislative solution.”

Monday’s decision was not a surprise, and is part of the White House’s broader goal of reducing legal immigration to the United States and intensifying efforts to expel those who arrived illegally.

The El Salvador TPS decision was the most momentous for the administration to make, because of the sheer number of people affected. The 200,000 are the parents of an estimated 190,000 U.S.-born children, according to recent studies, and about one-third are homeowners.

to wrap up at least most of their lives here and go home.

We might wish they had done that a year ago for undocumented immigrants, instead of immediately starting to round them up into inhumane holding camps, arresting them as they dropped their children off at school, came home from work and so on.

Btw, regarding the latter, I read the other day that the Republicans are considering separating children from parents as they're held, a form of federal terrorism designed to frighten parents into running before they come home and find their children gone or see them loaded, crying into a separate vehicle, destination unknown.
