I know I'll get pushback - likely from both sides of this argument. but here's my opinion...First of all, no matter what anybody says, Temporary means temporary...and it should have been explained and made clear to anyone who came to the US under this program. Now, having said that, the ending of the program for selected groups should be just that selective. Do we need to deport everyone here under TPS? IMO, NO : there are people here who contribute to our society, who have American born children, and are assets to the US. But how do you break out those from the rest? I Don't know.
But the problem with TPS is that it has become a Democrat vs republican issue...democrats support it so republicans have to be against it...which is insane...just as programs republicans are for, democrats have to be against, just as insane.
It's crazy!!!
In a normal society, someone would stand in front of many others with the same belief and say "we need to come up with a program that will allow those here under TPS to apply for permanent residency and no one should be deported while there case is being decided". But that would require compromise....and we're way short of that trait these days.
I think itβs a reaction to the failed policies of democrats. We all saw the videos and pictures of the borders wide open. When you see failure at that level, I think the reaction was the polar opposite. Extremism is met with extremism.
Look at my post history for the beginning. No one has called for NO immigration. We want controlled immigration that benefits the citizens of the USA.
Republicans are overreacting because they believe, based on recent history, that democrats will leave the border wire open if they regain power.
I do wish we could find a compromise and itβs disappointing that with all the technology this country has we canβt do better. Blame lies at the feet of both parties.
