Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem decided not to grant an extension of TPS, reversing a decision made by Biden’s DHS and leaving some 600,000 people in limbo.
More on TPS below link & list of TPS nos. by country. Venezuela (344k), El Salvador (180k), and Haiti (200k) are largest by far. TPS status are not open ended, they do have expiration dates.

So, not illegals, not immigrants, but allowed to work.

Fact Sheet: Temporary Protected Status (TPS) - National Immigration Forum
Quote:
The Secretary can designate a country for TPS due to:
  • Ongoing armed conflict (such as civil war);
  • An environmental disaster (such as earthquake or hurricane);
  • an epidemic; or
  • Other extraordinary and temporary conditions

In general, we should be welcoming the Afghanistan (8k) group. I mean, we frakking broke it. I can see extending Haiti since its still so messed up and regular folks seem to always be murdered. Have to read more about Venezuela, El Salvador etc.

It definitely really sucks to be them right now, caught up in the illegals mess.
