It's monstrous that there is no provision in immigration law allowing someone who has lived in the United States with legal status for 25 years to stay.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

You know what’s monstrous? People on “temporary” status since 1998, just chilling in the U.S. This might be more compassion worthy if this CBS article, and other articles, featured any people working hard and stuff, instead of living off the teet of the American citizens

U.S. to revoke Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, putting them at risk of deportation


The Trump administration said Monday it will soon revoke the legal immigration status of more than 70,000 immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, its latest effort to curtail humanitarian programs that allow foreigners to stay in the U.S. temporarily.
The Department of Homeland Security said it would terminate the longstanding Temporary Protected Status programs for Honduras and Nicaragua in early September, paving the way for those enrolled in the initiative to be at risk of deportation unless they have other legal means to remain in the U.S.
Roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans — many of whom arrived in the 1990s — have work permits and deportation protections under the TPS policy, according to the official termination notices published by DHS on Monday.
Really, all they need to do is not renew the TPS, because the current 18 month stretch ended July 5, 2025.
The TPS policies for Honduras and Nicaragua were first created in 1999 (WT-it started on Dec 30, 1999, after Hurricane Mitch devastated parts of Central America, causing catastrophic floods and killing thousands.
In the official termination notices, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said TPS for both Honduras and Nicaragua was no longer warranted, arguing that conditions in the two countries had improved significantly and that they could receive their nationals.
Yeah, that hurricane was quite some time ago, so, yeah, things are better, and it’s time for them to return home. Those who wanted to become US citizens had plenty of time to attempt to do so.
Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada said the termination of TPS for Honduras and Nicaraguans would separate families and hurt U.S. businesses.
“These families have been here since the 1990s, working hard and contributing to our state and country for decades,” Cortez Masto said. “Sending innocent families back into danger won’t secure our border or make America safer.”
What danger? The hurricane was last century. Did CBS ask her what the danger was?
(DHS) “Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—temporary,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “It is clear that the Government of Honduras has taken all of the necessary steps to overcome the impacts of Hurricane Mitch, almost 27 years ago. Honduran citizens can safely return home, and DHS is here to help facilitate their voluntary return. Honduras has been a wonderful partner of the Trump Administration, helping us deliver on key promises to the American people. We look forward to continuing our work with them.”
After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Honduras no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Honduras and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Hondurans can return home in safety. Additionally, under President Castro, Honduras has taken steps to welcome home their citizens, providing access to economic and food assistance programs, as well as labor integration and job training.
Democrats would prefer the permanent underclass of people brought in who can do menial labor.
