Trump heaps more misery on vulnerable immigrants

That's a message that clearly doesn't register with President Trump, who has loudly staked his politics on rejecting immigrants and sealing borders. On the same day as the pope's speech, the Trump administration announced that it would terminate provisional residency permits for about 200,000 Salvadorans who have lived in the United States since 2001. Trump had already ended such arrangements for Nicaraguans and Haitians, and will likely follow suit later this year with Hondurans. The Salvadorans who have received what's known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, now have until September 2019 to either obtain another form of legal status or leave the country.

Those in the program were initially granted TPS in 2001 after earthquakes ravaged the Central American nation; previous administrations extended the status 11 times thereafter. Now, tens of thousands of Salvadorans who consider the United States home face a harrowing, uncertain future, including the prospect of arrest and deportation. Some 192,000 U.S.-born children have at least one Salvadoran parent who holds TPS.

They came here legally under a temporary residency status, and did what?

did not apply to become citizens or nothing.

I still can't figure out why people who hate the Mexicans (or Salvadorans, etc.) being here want them to get citizenship "or you are outta here."

People are so confused.

ORIGINAL: Edwird

Maybe we both need to do more research, But I can tell you from my own eyes much more than I learned from econ classes that if 'those people" had no value here, they would never be here in the first place.

Somebody brought them here, you have to keep that in mind (demand begets supply, ALWAYS), and for those who hung on after the contract, more power to them for finding a way to be eventually more useful in the process.

The demand for cheapest labor is ongoing and incessant, and is the core of every university business department.

Nothing, did not apply to become citizens or nothing.
Guess what folks, you are outa here.
This is one thing I can agree with Trump on.

• A Conservative interpretation of the US Constitution
  
• Personal Responsibility
  
• Help for the truly needy
  
• Limited Government
  
• Consumption Tax (non-profit charities and food exempt)

As it stands now, a TPS holder who would like to apply for a green card (also known as legal permanent resident status) must have a basis to adjust. This means that someone cannot apply for a green card simply because they have been granted TPS. But for those who have U.S. citizen family members, or those who have a job willing to sponsor them, or another humanitarian ground, you may be eligible to apply for adjustment, at least without any problems such as false claims of citizenship, certain criminal convictions, or other grounds for inadmissibility or removal.

No question, re-tiling the roof of a large house in 96F heat for 10-11 solid hours a day for three days (then on to the next one) @ $60-$70 a day is "suckling at the teat" and "not making any real effort."

And lets face facts, if they are a good employee, most employers will do the sponsor route simply because it does not cost them a thing to do so.

So, it goes back once more that there were avenues for a permanent residency card, citizenship or some other change in status and they choose not to take them.

And it is not that I dont want them here, I dont care as long as they came to this country legally.
