Due to the US practice of granted citizenship to babies
born inside the United States, there are now nearly 200,000 US
citizens who were born to parents who now may face
deportation
The United States has announced they will cancel permits
allowing nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador to live and work in
the country.
The humanitarian programme, Temporary Protected Status (TPS),
was granted after a series of earthquakes rocked the Central
American country in 2001.
Salvadoreans now have until Sept 9, 2019, to leave or find a
legal way to remain in the country otherwise they face
deportation.
The 18-month time period is to give enough time “to allow for an
orderly transition”, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Individuals will have to seek another immigration status or plan
their moves home and for El Salvador must prepare for the
population shift.
“The original conditions caused by the 2001 earthquakes no
longer exist,” the agency said.
“Thus, under the applicable statute, the current TPS designation
must be terminated.”
The Trump administration has already removed TPS protections
from tens of thousands of Haitians and Nicaraguans.
Ten countries, making up over 300,000 US immigrants, have been
granted TPS protections since it was first signed into law by
President George Bush.
