As many as 1 million workers could be deported if status rescinded
The Columbus Dispatch ^ | January 15, 2018 | By Vivian Yee, NY Times

Posted on 01/15/2018 8:30:45 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

They clean federal office buildings in Washington and nurse older people in Boston. They are rebuilding hurricane-wrecked Houston. And working on the Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium. The plumbing and heating systems at Fannie Mae’s new headquarters, the porterhouse at Peter Luger Steak House and even the Disney World experience have all depended, in small part or large, on their labor.

They are the immigrants from Haiti and Central America who have staked their livelihoods on the temporary permission they received years ago from the government to live and work in the United States. Hundreds of thousands now stand to lose that status under the Trump administration, which said Monday that roughly 200,000 immigrants from El Salvador would have to leave by September 2019 or face deportation.

Even if they remain in the United States illegally, they, like the young immigrants whose status also is in jeopardy this winter, will lose their work permits, potentially scratching more than 1 million people from the legal workforce in a matter of months. And the U.S. companies that employ them will be forced to look elsewhere for labor — if they can get it at all.

The Trump administration has emphasized that the permissions were originally granted because of wars and natural disasters in the immigrants’ home countries and intended to last only until conditions there improved. But in reality, their permissions have been extended so long that they have become indefinite residents, often buying homes and raising U.S.-born children, even though their status offers no path to citizenship.

They, like other unauthorized immigrants, have become indispensable parts of certain industries, taking jobs that employers say no one else will and that immigration restrictionists say could attract Americans if companies were willing to pay more.

We are a nation of citizens, not immigrants. "Temporary permission" means just that, temporary. Go home and prosper.

Yep. Now we can start cutting welfare benefits and get able bodied Americans off the rolls and back to work. You don’t work, you don’t eat, as I recall being raised.

Not indispensable. They can be replaced with US citizens and legal workers. Good riddance to these million and the 3-4 million with them. Bye!

As it is said, all good things must come to an end. Now GTFO ingrates.

Plenty of American’s would take those jobs. Our offices were cleaned for years by a small business that employed African Americans. Sometime around 2000 those jobs were taken over by a company of Hispanics. I’ll let others connect the dots ...

The exploitation of these people is what holds low end wages down in America.

What a sob story!

They have to leave by September 2019 or face deportation. 21 months more! Why not leave by sundown? That’s what my great grandparents got.

These people “staked their livelihoods on the temporary permission they received years ago”! What sane person would do that?

Boy would never know it listening to the policians today in America. They heap more praise on the nation's invaders and trash talk American's for not working after THEY provide free everything.

As for the headline of this article...."As many as 1 million workers could be deported if status rescinded"
Paging the Boo Hoo girl

“Workers”?? BS.

I thought the liberals claimed illegals didn’t take jobs.

Deport, deport, deport and then deport some more.

After 8 years of enforcement we might get the number down to something manageable.

It will open up jobs for citizens of this country and not those that are here illegally or overstayed their visa, or should never have been here to begin with. Their kids, born on US soil, are citizens, and that was not discussed in the article.

This may sound racist (like I give a damn), but I would cut benefits for the men first. I see way too many men that don’t want to take a minimum wage job, because the slightly less amount that assistance pays, it is worth it to lay around on their fat lazy asses. 30 years ago, pride would be a factor in men working, regardless of the wage, verses mooching off the tax payers.

*They clean federal office buildings in Washington and nurse older people in Boston. They are rebuilding hurricane-wrecked Houston. And working on the Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium.**

And there are illegals who shoot people... rape.. set off bombs in public places... There are those who the tax payers foot their bill.. welfare, medical and housing. Protected in sanctuary cities, which are being run with tax dollars!

IF.. IF. the government had followed the law/rules they used in the earlier years of immigration..... IF we knew who they were who are coming into our country... but we don’t!

They used to know every person who got off the boat. They had to have a trade, they had to have a sponsor, they had to have a job waiting for them and they had to have a place to stay when they arrived. Every person was documented.. name, age, where they came from and what they did in the country from which they were coming. And they had to become citizens ... 7 years and citizenship before they could vote!!!

The undoing of our country... and it’s wreaked havoc on the citizens!

They live in subsidized housing at the taxpayers' expense, they have "free" medical care at the taxpayers' expense, they get free (to them) food at the taxpayers' expense, their offspring get an education at the taxpayers' expense, they commit crimes in a disproportion ratio to their number, they refuse to embrace the American culture instead hanging on to the third world shithole ways they're used to, they refuse to learn English causing again the taxpayers to support bilingual access to many services. Sent them back to the place they came from SOON!

The real value in cutting welfare benefits, is to make it less attractive for women to become single welfare moms by "marrying" Uncle Sugar, then to marry a man with a stable job. If the men in the ghetto find out that they need to be stable wage earners in order to get laid, they will get jobs.
