The Biden administration is giving the green light to more than 300,000 illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. after rescinding a Trump-era policy on Tuesday.
Illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal can remain in the U.S. under a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) after President Joe Biden rescinded former President Donald Trump's decision to end TPS for people from the four countries in 2018, The Hill reported.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the decision on Tuesday, blaming “environmental disasters” as the reason for allowing these specific migrants to remain in the U.S.
“Through the extension of Temporary Protected Status, we are able to offer continued safety and protection to current beneficiaries who are nationals of El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua who are already present in the United States and cannot return because of the impacts of environmental disasters,” Mayorkas said.
TPS only allows foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. and doesn't give them a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship. In 2021, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously ruled that those in the TPS program are ineligible to apply for a green card.
Those eligible to remain in the country under Biden's renewed TPS policy will have to re-register with the federal government, the DHS said. Around 239,000 beneficiaries from El Salvador can have their stays extended from September 10, 2023, to March 9, 2025, and about 76,000 Honduran nationals and 4,000 Nicaraguans can now stay in the U.S. until July 5, 2025. More than 14,000 beneficiaries from Nepal can have their TPS extended from December 25, 2023, to June 24, 2025, according to The Hill.
An estimated 1.5 million illegal immigrant gotaways have been recorded since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.
Last month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Since assuming office, Secretary Mayorkas has aided and abetted the complete invasion of our country by deliberately flooding our nation with drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens,” Greene's office said in a press release. “He stated under oath that we have operational control of our borders, while also under oath, he stated that no one has ever achieved operational control of the border. He lied to the American people, he lied under oath, and he has blatantly violated his oath of office.”
