Washington Post Quietly Edits Article on TPS for Salvadorans

You specifically said TPS in the first sentence of the post to which I replied. This plumber has been here temporarily for over 15 years (since 2001?) and now its time for him to go back home.

I'm fine with that. Is he now a citizen? Is he restricted from (by the TPS program language) applying for citizenship or prevented from doing so? If he gets citiszenship then he can stay.

I wouldnt object to changes made, if needed, to the program that limits their time in the US. But if they can apply for citizenship, then that wouldnt work. That also would have to be restricted.

Fair enough I guess. I don't really see anything wrong with him saying that if it's true.

Re: the TPS program:

from the OP article:

Congress created the TPS program in 1990 to offer provisional humanitarian relief to migrants whose homelands were engulfed in war, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions. Critics say past presidents misused the program by allowing it to drag on long after the emergencies passed.

Has the emergency passed in El Salvador?

September in El Salvador saw 435 homicides — almost 15 per day — making it the country’s most violent month in 2017, according to official figures. And this escalation in bloodshed comes against a backdrop of contradictory public policies promoted by the government of President Salvador Sánchez Cerén.

No, violent gangs still control the country. People here on the TPS program are still likely to be killed if they're deported.

Here's another thread on the issue of deporting people to their deaths:
