President Biden has provided TPS<\/a><\/ins> by executive order for tens of thousands of Venezuelans living in the United States illegally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TPS was created by Congress to provide legal status for aliens unable or unwilling to leave the United States and return to their homeland because of temporarily unsettled conditions due to the political or security situation, or natural disaster. Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s harsh dictatorship and economic collapse are the justification for the TPS action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Trump\nadministration reacted differently. At the close of his term, President Trump\nordered a temporary ban on deportation of Venezuelans, but without giving them\nTPS. That was a measure that had the effect of offering temporary protection\nagainst deportation without conferring legal status. The background for that\naction was the fact that TPS had been consistently abused by prior\nadministrations to the extent that ending TPS became a political issue.\nPresident Trump decided to face that political issue by ending TPS designation\nfor some of the nationals who had been given that status many years earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other reason TPS is\ncontroversial is that no distinction is made in the designation between those\nfrom a TPS country who entered or stayed illegally in the U.S. and those who\ncame after conditions in the home country deteriorated. This distinction means\nthat TPS is granted equally to illegal aliens who have no intent to return to\ntheir homeland as soon as conditions improve and those who seek to return as\nsoon as it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration,\nwhile providing humanitarian protection for some Venezuelans, stopped short of\noffering TPS to those with the intent of violating our national sovereignty. It\nwas a very much needed step in ending the abuse inherent in the TPS system.\nUnfortunately, The Biden administration has now undone that needed change and\nrestored use of the inappropriate TPS provision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
