WHAT TO KNOW

• The U.S. created Temporary Protected Status in 1990 to provide a safe haven for countries affected by war and natural disasters.
• Immigrants will have until June 24, 2019, to leave or find another way to stay in the country to allow for an orderly transition.
• They were granted special protections under President Barack Obama after an earthquake in Nepal in April 2015 killed more than 8,000 people.

The Trump administration has decided to end special protections for an estimated 9,000 Nepalese immigrants in the United States.

Immigrants will have until June 24, 2019, to leave or find another way to stay in the country to allow for an orderly transition.

They were granted special protections under President Barack Obama after an earthquake in Nepal in April 2015 killed more than 8,000 people. The Obama administration extended the protections for 18 months in October 2016.

But the Department of Homeland Security says Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has concluded the disruptions from the earthquake "have decreased to a degree that they should no longer be regarded as substantial."

END TPS PROGRAMS...THEY NEVER WANT TO LEAVE

THEY ARE UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE WITH NO RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY OR OUR LAWS!

THEY NEVER "THANK" US FOR TEMPORARY HELP AND THEY INSULT US BY KICKING AND SCREAMING ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR!

GET THEM OUT! AMERICAN'S WANT THESE PROGRAMS GUTTED AND TERMINATED!

The US should have never created TPS! It was a huge mistake. Now we have hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who alway get their TPS extended and go nowhere! There is nothing Temporary about Temporary Protected Status! (TPS)

Who has TPS and who is losing it?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents detailed statistical information on the US Temporary Protected Status (TPS) populations from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti. TPS can be granted to noncitizens from designated nations who are unable to return to their countries because of armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. In January 2017, an estimated 325,000 migrants from 13 TPS-designated countries resided in the United States. This statistical portrait of TPS beneficiaries from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti reveals hardworking populations with strong family and other ties to the United States. In addition, high percentages have lived in the United States for 20 years or more, arrived as children, and have US citizen children.

The paper finds that:

• The labor force participation rate of the TPS population from the three nations ranges from 81 to 88 percent, which is well above the rate for the total US population (63 percent) and the foreign-born population (66 percent).
• The five leading industries in which TPS beneficiaries from these countries work are: construction (51,700), restaurants and other food services (32,400), landscaping services (15,800), child day care services (10,000), and grocery stores (9,200).
• TPS recipients from these countries live in 206,000 households: 61,100 of these households (roughly 30 percent) have mortgages.
• About 68,000, or 22 percent, of the TPS population from these nations arrived as children under the age of 16.
• TPS beneficiaries from these nations have an estimated 273,000 US citizen children (born in the United States).
• Ten percent of El Salvadoran, nine percent of the Haitian, and six percent of the Honduran TPS beneficiaries are married to a legal resident.
• More than one-half of El Salvadoran and Honduran, and 16 percent of the Haitian TPS beneficiaries have resided in the United States for 20 years or more.
• The six US states with the largest TPS populations from these countries are California (55,000), Texas (45,000), Florida (45,000), New York (26,000), Virginia (24,000), and Maryland (23,000).
• Eighty-seven percent of the TPS population from these countries speaks at least some English, and slightly over one-half speak English well, very well, or only English.
• About 27,000, or 11 percent, of those in the labor force are self-employed, having created jobs for themselves and likely for others as well.

TPS status should be extended until beneficiaries can safely return home and can successfully reintegrate into their home communities. Most long-term TPS recipients should be afforded a path to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status and ultimately to US citizenship.
