[emmie]

The Trump administration has announced the US will cancel permits allowing nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador to live and work in the country.

They have until 2019 to find a way to stay....

He's a stable genius.
Don't argue with him.

[emmie]

I wouldn't but you didn't answer my question.

[ichkeria]

I think it's very sad.
Not a question of "right" or "wrong"

[emmie]

sad perhaps, but if they are there by default, i.e fleeing from a natural disaster then surely if there is no further problem they could technically go home. I don't know about the children born to those individuals, aren't they now American citizens?

[ichkeria]

Technically they could, but to decide to effectively throw them out en masse is brutish, and divisive.
Stroke of genius tho :-)

[emmie]

they are not the only ones to possibly go.

[emmie]

The Trump administration has already removed TPS protections from tens of thousands of Haitians and Nicaraguans.

[ichkeria]

No Haitians and Nicaraguans too

To answer your further question the link says
"that 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."

it's the coffee there, the beans are lousy.....

[ichkeria]

I'm sure Trump has thought it all through ...

[vetuste_ennemi]

He is right to want to.


Firstly, the permission to "live and work" is a "temporary" humanitarian measure.
Secondly, a lot of the El Salvadoreans will be living at the tax-payer's expense rather than working.
Thirdly, and most importantly, El Salvadoreans are disproportionately represented in violent crime.

I guess the clue is in the 'T' of the TPS.

[emmie]

they appear to have been allowed to stay from 2001. So successive governments have said they could stay?

[emmie]

Its President Trump's idea presumably, it does say the White House, so assume that's him.

[ichkeria]

It's a neat way of upping the number of illegal immigrants

[anneasquith]

Will Trump be providing transport ?

[vetuste_ennemi]

It's related to one of his campaign promises, I guess, Emmie. He spoke about high levels of crime cased by immigrants both legal and illegal. He especially mentioned this lot (I suspect few posters will have heard of them):

the clue is in the wording "temporary"

\\They were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) after earthquakes rocked the Central American country in 2001.//

they have been there 16 years.

[naomi24]

^Exactly. Previous administrations have clearly failed to do what they should have done.
