Nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador who have been allowed to live in the United States for more than a decade must leave the country, two government officials familiar with the decision said on Monday. It is the Trump administration’s latest reversal of years of immigration policies and one of the most consequential to date.
The officials, who declined to be identified because they were speaking before an official announcement on the decision later Monday morning, said that the administration was ending a humanitarian program, known as Temporary Protected Status, for Salvadorans who have been allowed to live and work legally in the United States since a pair of devastating earthquakes struck their country in 2001.
Salvadorans were by far the largest group of foreigners benefiting from temporary protected status, which shielded them from deportation if they had arrived in the United States illegally. The decision came just weeks after more than 45,000 Haitians, the second largest group, lost protections granted after Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, and it suggested that others in the program, namely Hondurans, may soon lose them as well. Nicaraguans lost their protections last year.
In the days leading up to the decision, immigrant advocates and the El Salvadoran government pleaded for the United States to extend the program, as it has several times since 2001, saying that conditions in El Salvador were still dire. A sense of dread gripped Salvadorans and their employers in California, Texas, Virginia and elsewhere.

For 28 years (from Jan. of '89 to Jan. of '17) we've had Presidents dedicated to the erasing of our borders and destruction of our sovereignty. Damage, irreversible. But President Trump is doing the best he can.

Prior to the Trump era, wWe were being economically gang raped, looted and conned D.C. insiders.
Trump: “The system is rigged, millions of voters and donors were gamed”.
“they have until sept 2019? why not end of this week and they have to go?”
We legally allowed them here. I’m fine letting these people get their affairs in order, sell stuff off, and get accommodations back in their home nations.
He’ll, giving them 24 hours isn’t some magic that will clear them out.
'For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.'
"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans."
--Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985

Idiots, Useful; 1 "Raza" of, each.
200,000 illegal aliens deported? It’s a good start. Keep it coming, Mr. President! A quarter million here, a quarter million there ... after a while you’re talking real deportation!
Mi casa no su casa ...
We want ALL THE WALL NOW!!
2001 was 17 years ago. Hard to believe that anyone is protesting this decision. I know the dumb DNC Chair is but it’s really hard to take seriously when it’s been close to 20 years.
Picture is worth way more than a thousand words :-)
Yep, it is an ugly swamp to deal with. More power to Trump.
Absolutely! This is going to infringe upon Ms-13s recruitments
I'm right in the middle of Virginia and I have not noticed an increase in the dread level.
What decision would that be? Whether to wear lace-up shoes or slip-ons during the trip home?
I'd recommend slip-ons if they will be flying home, and lace-up if they're taking the bus or walking.
Still, giving them more than a year and a half seems excessive.
We're currently at Dread Level "Orange". Fair to partly Dread-y. With Increasing Dread as the year goes on, then it should be a Dread-Storm shortly after the 2018 elections.
b ump! My feelings exactly.
Population of Northern Virginia will be reduced at least by half ...if not more.
Can’t wait to be able to drive without congestion, see housing rates drop, be able to eat out at fast food restaurants, etc.
