In one of its most significant immigration decisions , the Trump administration said Monday that it will terminate the provisional residency permits of about 200,000 Salvadorans who have lived in the country since at least 2001, leaving them to potentially face deportation.
The administration said it will give the Salvadorans until Sept. 9, 2019, to leave the United States or find a way to obtain legal residency, according to a statement Monday from the Department of Homeland Security. The Salvadorans were granted what is known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, after earthquakes hit the country in 2001, and their permits have been renewed on an 18-month basis since then.

Time is up.
Most of them are permanent legal residents.
This is only about temporary residents.
Why give them so long to get out?

Well, yeah. Otherwise, you might spend your money on your family and yourself. Can’t have that.
This is all by design. Soros and the America hating globalists are working to over run us with illiterate, low skilled Third World garbage so that we become what this human refuse is fleeing from.
O my Boo Hoo Gurl! Me love you long time!
Good news. GET OUT!
200,000 less people in Americans a good start....would love to see 600,000 people leaving...
