Homeland Security granted a new temporary amnesty Monday to more than 8,000 Syrians living in the U.S. right now, saying they can remain for up to 18 months longer no matter what their legal status.

Secretary Jeh Johnson issued “temporary protected status” to Syrians, saying that if they are in the U.S. as of Monday and continue to reside here permanently, they can apply for work permits and other documents to remain and live in the U.S. without fear of being ousted.

His order applies to some 5,800 Syrians who were granted status under a 2012 TPS program, and 2,500 new arrivals who don’t have a more permanent status here.

This was paid for by RINO Ryan and McConnell
in advance because of their hatred for America.

Cantor both the traitors.

This is why you do not edit the title when there is no need to. We now have 3 posts of the very same article within 7 posts of each other.

I didn’t edit it. It is as written and I searched the word “granted”

From the other link I provided the Times article has this as the headline:

DHS grants Syrians temporary amnesty

As opposed to your link:

Syrians granted temporary amnesty in U.S.

Fine. Once we have a real president, an American in the White House, that temporary “Amnesty” can be revoked. It will be time to deport every single foreigner who is in our country illegally, every single person here on Amnesty of any kind, and every single legal immigrant who is on welfare. Coming here is a privilege, and working Americans should no longer pay for foreigners either with our tax dollars or with our lives.

How can that incompetent boob, Jeh Johnson, just unilaterally declare a temporary anything to do with Immigration?

He is Homeland Security Secretary and nothing more, except another example of Obummer’s lousy cabinet choices.

How many will get settled in Paul Ryan’s Congressional district? I have a theory that very few will get planted there so the Paul Ryan’s fan club will reelect him because he did not allow a significant number of snakes, to be planted in his district. Paul Ryan voters do not care if the rest of US get bitten by his snakes... Think I will start calling Paul Ryan the snake pimp.
