New Report: Expanding Temporary Protected Status

A new report from fwd.us: “Expanding Temporary Protected Status Significantly Benefits U.S. Citizen Family Members.”

The report argues that TPS is “vital for the future well-being of U.S. citizen family members.” The report cites research by Cecilia Menjívar, a Professor of Sociology at UCLA and FWD.us immigration fellow, that reveals “that TPS can lift U.S. citizen family members out of poverty, provide new educational opportunities, and improve physical and mental well-being. This is because TPS offers increased security from the threat of deportation while also providing better economic opportunities through work permits for TPS holders.”
