TPS extended

By immigrationprof

A story in today’s Washington Post forshadows that the Bush administration will soon issue its decision to extend Temporary Protected Status for the approximately 300,000 Salvadoran, Nicaraguan and Honduran immigrants in the United States for another year.

TPS is designed to help immigrants who have difficulty returning to their homelands because of natural disaster or war.  The status of individuals from the Central American nations was set to expire, which would have ended the ability of many of them to remain in the U.S. lawfully.

The Post story is here.
