WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security wants to end the special immigration status that has allowed some 300,000 illegal Salvadoran, Honduran and Nicaraguan migrants to remain in this country, many of them in Florida, Bush administration officials say.
But the final decision on the Temporary Protected Status for the three nations, which would force those migrants to return home or remain here illegally and risk deportation, still is under intense debate within the administration, the officials add.

go home or we'll tell you again to go home.
Interesting development where I live in Indiana.
We have had an influx of Latinos from Mexico, and we have hired them at our plant. They are generally very good employees. We have been trying to hire each month what we think we will need and train them. We recently decided that one month we will commit to either hiring all English or all Spanish speaking employees so as not to stretch our training resources by having to run two separate language orientations each month. This month, we have doing our second consecutive English speaking orientation because the temporary agency we use says they will not be able to staff our needs with all Spanish speaking employees. This is highly unusual and she says it's because the pool is down due to 'legal' issues. So, it looks like companies are seeing that they are going to be fined if they hire illegals.
these days it's more like ...
go home ... or we'll grant you amnesty citizenship!
It makes sense to end these special immigration exceptions.
However, the USA really should be creative in helping El Salvador, which has been exceptionally cooperative/supportive of the USA on a whole range of issues. This at a time when South American contries are falling like dominoes to socialist Chavez loving governments. Maybe some additional new trade benefits like we give Poland or Australia?
What about the 10 million ILLEGAL Mexicans in the US? Oh that's right, we have an amnesty plan for those law breakers.

Do you mean helpful to include MS-13 gangs?
Yes in fact I did, I wish the article would have mentioned this as well. The government of El Salvador has been exceptionally helpful to our law enforcement authorities in addressing the gang problem. They simply could not be more agressive in doing so, their laws dealing with MS-13 are incredibly draconian. Just having a tattoo gets you a long prison sentence there.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
If they did that it would be a first. There's nothing been more permanent than someone here temporarily.
It’s down due to the New Orleans reconstruction effort. Negan is nuts if he thinks NO is going to remain majority black.
I'm glad to hear this but I have to say
In Indiana?! I would not invade your privacy to ask where you work but a company that only hires Spanish speaking individuals every other month makes me wonder if they are here legally on visas? Do you trust the company you work for to verify this? I hope so.
He didn't say "black".
I believe the term he used was "chocolate". In that case, I am sure he's correct since we are all a form of chocolate, now we have from white chocolate candy bars to special dark. More ambiguous a statement than one would have thought.
, and we have hired them at our plant.
So THAT'S why they have come here....they just want tattoos. And here I've been thinking bad things about them. ;)
Is it not possible that their draconian measures are actually chasing them to the US?
susie
Good catch Susie, I think the answer is yes they are
LOL!
Truer words ... message and tag line ... were never spoken.
I hope so. There is a big new crop of illegals headed your way. We were on the border for about 3 hours this evening, 18 of us were covering about 8 miles of border, members of the group called in 19 that were apprehended. BP was being run ragged all evening.
Incredibly draconian? These are the people who cut off other people's hands and feet with machetes, and they're doing it here in northern Virginia as well as in their own country. They are not getting the tatoos as a lifestyle choice.
Incredibly draconian? These are the people who cut off other people's hands and feet, and murder, with machetes, and they're doing it here in northern Virginia as well as in their own country. They are not getting the tatoos as a lifestyle choice. They are getting tatoos to intimidate those with whom they come in contact. We have no obligation to admit these people or let them stay here, regardless of how cooperative the Salvadoran government might be. And the Salvadorans are entitled to be as draconian as they feel necessary. This is, by the way exacerbated by our birthright citizenship policy. A lot of the Salvatruchas were born in America to illegal Salvadoran parents, so we can't get rid of them. Mala gente.
The DNC will still send them absentee ballots.
;-D
I thought it was clear I was approving of the draconian punishment for gang tattoos. That's why I held their fierce anti-gang measures up for praise, as an example of why they are deserving of special consideration from the US government. I agree MS-13 are very much mala gente.
