The Trump administrations is mulling the idea of ending the 17-year Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for some 200,000 or so Salvadoran nationals that now call the US their casa.
If the status is lifted, the measure would go into effect in September 2019.While most of these Salvadoran immigrants are in the US living the American dream, and adding their two cents to the national economy, there are those bad apples that have gotten mixed up in gangs, and participate in those organization’s criminal activities.
Republican Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Curbelo, who are a staunch supporters of comprehensive immigration reform, took issue with the president’s potential move to end the immigration status for those 200,000 Salvadorans.

“I am in strong disagreement with the Administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Salvadoran nationals who reside in the United States. These innocent people fled their home country after a disastrous earthquake, and while living conditions may have slightly improved, El Salvador now faces a significant problem with drug trafficking, gangs, and crime.
Since 2001, these people have established themselves in the United States, making countless contributions to our society and our local communities. It would be devastating to send them home after they have created a humble living for themselves and their families. As I did with the decisions to end TPS for Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Honduran nationals who reside in the United States, I strongly urge the Administration to reconsider this decision.”–Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R)
