‘Temporary protected status (TPS) is a temporary immigration status granted by the United States to eligible nationals of designated countries (or parts thereof). It is granted where there is evidence of civil unrest, violence, or natural disasters, or where there are extraordinary, temporary conditions that that make a country impossible to return to or unsafe.’

Sorry - not even remotely true, but not your fault. Yours is the government’s definition. As far as I know it’s just another immigration joke (April fool’s) played on the American people. I don’t believe it is ever temporary. It is usually extended over and over, presumably until the American people forget or the ‘immigrant’ dies of old age. This one is probably a leftover from the 1980’s unrest.

This administration's definition of temporary is until Amnesty is given to all Illegal aliens.
