Temporary Protected Status designation offers work permits, deportation relief for at least 18 months

The Biden administration said it would grant temporary legal authorization to Venezuelans in the U.S. without permission, allowing potentially hundreds of thousands of people to remain in the country.

The Temporary Protected Status designation, which lasts for 18 months and can be renewed, offers Venezuelans in the U.S. work permits and temporary protection against deportation. Venezuelans who enter the U.S. after March 8 can’t qualify for the program, a senior administration official said. As many as 320,000 people could be eligible for the program, the person said.

The decision, which follows a nearly identical move by former President Donald Trump in his final hours in office, is the first major policy move in the Biden administration’s pressure campaign against the Venezuelan regime of President Nicolás Maduro.

What a hateful SOB..

[Dacula]

Golly, if it was Trump as president, the rats would be racing to a court to stop this insanity, but since it the fecal republicans, they will just circle back and wipe their rear-ends and then sit on them.

Is this the first Trump policy which Biden's puppeteers didn't reflexively revoke?

Biden administration’s pressure campaign against the Venezuelan regime of President Nicolás Maduro.

Biden has a "pressure campaign" against the bus driver?

Escapees from socialism?

They came to the wrong place.

In theory, TPS applies only to people who were LEGALLY in the USA when the natural or political disaster BEGAN.

People who arrive AFTER the disaster began should not be in the program, which has many special benefits, including a work visa.

320,000 people is 1.1% of Venezuela's population.

At least they’ll see where things are headed here. I wonder where they’ll go next.

Biden milking Trump’s recognition of true “asylum”.

What a poor putz, this Biden parrot & potted plant.

[Vendome]

Miami and Doral are saved!!!

[RitaOK]

Well, we might proffer Biden’s attention getting bombing of Syria killed only one person, reportedly, and not 150.

The Potted Plant has learned from the Trump Doctrine, of “proportionality”.

[Nateman]

Having experienced communism first hand you'd think Biden would try to keep these people out. Cuban Americans, for example, tend to vote Republican. As Napoleon once said:

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Since Trump had already done this, why was it deemed necessary for Biden to do it? Or in the DemoNazis’ rush to undo everything Trump did, did they discover that Trump had done something they wanted.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They sure did. The DemoNazis are trying to destroy the country faster than Chavez destroyed Venezuela.

As it goes what we eat is who we are is like who we let in will be what we become.
