Senate Democrats Urge Biden to Protect Migrants Before Trump’s Deportations
Latino Democratic Senators are pushing Joe Biden to bestow Temporary Protective Status (TPS) upon undocumented constituents in their states ahead of Donald Trump’s sweeping plan to execute mass deportations of Illegals.
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Alex Padilla of California, and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico are pressing the Biden administration to redesignate TPS for nationals from Nicaragua and El Salvador and to also designate TPS for people from Ecuador.
TPS for El Salvador ends in March, and TPS for Nicaragua ends in July after Trump takes office on Jan. 20.
“We know the incoming administration is going to try to implement chaotic immigration policies that tear our families apart,” Cortez Masto said.
The members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus also stressed that the White House should direct the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s immigration agency to speed up renewal applications for those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
“It’s time for this administration to ensure that we can renew their DACA status now before they come under threat from the Trump administration,” Cortez Masto said.
The White House has yet to comment or react to the Latino Senators’ requests.
The senators stressed that the Biden administration should take action, given Trump’s vow to enact mass deportations, targeting the millions of immigrants without legal status. Deportations could easily include those with TPS if their status is not renewed.
TPS designations can last six, 12, or 18 months before they are renewed and cover more than 1 million immigrants. The status does not offer a pathway to citizenship.
So far, 17 countries have TPS designation, and it’s been used in instances like Ukrainians fleeing from Russia’s war in Ukraine.
DACA Fate Still Unknown
Trump, who tried to end DACA during his first administration, said during a sit-down interview with NBC on Sunday that he would “work with the Democrats on a plan” to keep those recipients in the U.S., but he did not elaborate on any details.
The program is currently waiting for a federal court to decide its legal fate.
Cortez Masto said she is always willing to work to protect Dreamers but is skeptical about Trump’s comments.
“The last time he said that, and we brought him a bipartisan bill to do something to protect our Dreamers, he killed it,” she said.
All illegals should be deported, and most Democrats convicted of treason, aiding and abetting an invasion, not to mention being an ongoing threat to liberty in so many other ways.
It’s time to get tough on immigration. Deport the criminals first and then start in on the ones who are here illegally. Start building the WALL immediately and make it lethal barrier.
Then go after Biden and Obama personally to collect the millions of dollars these two wasted by auctioning off wall building materials for pennies on the dollar.
Both of these people should be charged for treason and dragged through every court in the country. Bankrupt both of these scum bags.
As an Independent with a sense of humor, I thought it was a great way of saying “screw you” to all Trumpers. It seems to have really set their hair on fire. And they say Biden is demented, yet he was able to really stick it to them. And he will not leave any judgeship appointments on the table for Trump. Yes, expect a healthy dose of opposition to much of what Trump wants to do to turn this country into a transactional autocracy. This is what the founders intended, the winning party and the “loyal opposition” – loyal to the Constitution and opposing to the winner if they try to shred the ideals behind our constitution.
The only thing Trump is mad about is that he did not think of selling the steel first. I mean he has been selling sneakers, bibles with his endorsement (like God really needs it), dopey Trump cards, useless crypto coins, silver coins, luxury watches, stinky cologne, and during his campaign he even tried to sell energy policy to oil executives for a billion dollar donation!
And you want to complain about selling pieces of steel laying around doing nothing! What a joke!
Biden is demented. He doesn’t know the time of day let alone running things and he is not coming up with his administrations policies to ruin this country.
Biden isn’t doing anything. The Traitor Dems are doing his work for him ! They say sign , and he signs or they Forge his signature. He has a hard enough time reading whats on the teleprompters. Notice how when the Stop working , he has Nothing to say !
The Best way to make the Dem States hurt for backing the Illegals is to Quit giving them money !
No More money for NGO’s either. Cut them off !!
Fed up; or FU; where do you think most of the money comes from? Blue States. They are called Red States for a reason; they are bleeding us dry. Look it up where most tax revenues come from and where they are spent before you make stupid statements like this. You’re better than that I bet.
Biden is gone in a few weeks; Time to move on dude. Trump has promised to end the Ukraine war by then, and, in the next hundred days after that, you can return to your Trumpian world of milk and honey. He will begin mass deportation on day one so you can get your job back.
Since technically any private organization is an NGO. wtf are you talking about cuz telling the government not to give money to private businesses is stupid. Hell, Trump’s secret service tab at his hotels runs into the tens of millions. But you can spell NGO.
And me a communist? I guarantee I out capitalist you hands down. Let’s see; upper mid-management for fortune 100 corporation with p&l responsibility managing a 100 million dollar revenue stream. What’s in your wallet? Retired at 56 to be with kids and investing with returns larger than your top salary? Yeah, investing in capitalism, how communist.
You can name call better than that. Put some effort in. Folks, don’t get fed up and post stupid idiotic stuff just to have it shoved back in your face. Communist; that’s just so lame given the facts.
First: I totally agree with you on suing and driving Didung and Obumma into bankruptcy.
Second: Anyone here illegally is already a “criminal” by the very fact they broke the law by entering our country without permission.
Lee: I agree. Let’s start with Melania, her son, and her parents. Deport them all.
Melania got here under false pretenses; she used the same law that allows the world’s best and brightest, to fast track into America as citizens.
From the BBC: “Melania Trump obtained US citizenship on a visa reserved for immigrants with “extraordinary ability” and “sustained national and international acclaim”, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Nicknamed the “Einstein Visa”, the EB-1, external is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field – the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples – as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.
Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post, external.
Becoming a citizen in 2006 gave her the right to sponsor her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, who are now in the US and in the process of applying for citizenship.”

And now you know why she stays with Trump. Trump rigged the game to get her here and he probably tells he “I can make you or break you” to keep her here. Plus, if deported, then the Barron has to go too.
But Trump will deport anyone here illegally. Ironic ain’t it?
Prove me wrong on the facts AF, and then you can move to deport.
I totally agree. Kick all the Demonutz out of our Country . They have Committed treason.
They ALL have blood on their hands .
The Democrats didn’t learn a thing from loosing the Election ! They are Idiots and Traitors !
FU: you really want to boot 50% of the country out because they are traitorous murderers?
Got proof?
Why spew shit you cannot prove? How bad is your life to feel so much hatred for half your country? They are only elite because you are not. If it’s to be, it’s up to me. Do something about it.
Why did this Country even bother to have an election to begin with if those democrats are still going to keep on ruining America ?? Those democrats should all be forced to get out of this Country !!
I can think of one more to deport!
I agree: America first!!
No. You don’t believe that.
Trump can not sell anything that belongs to the federal government.
This is the reason for Biden’s dumping of the material.
As for Biden, he gets the kudos when things go right and the Crap
when they go bad, but as a puppet he is responsible for nothing.
Look back on his complete 4 years, he actually did nothing!
He traveled around like a head of authority and fell down a number of stairs!
Period!
He kissed the asses of the green people as his family has a 10% stake in
the creation of batteries for Electric cars.
Everything Biden did had NOTHING to do with helping the
United States Citizens!
Everything was self serving for himself and the Democrat’s.
He makes Bernie Madoff look like a Samaritan and Philanthropist of the year!
Senate Dems do what you want. When all federal funds are cut off for anyone not here on an approved visa, the so called Sancturary states and cities will sink under their own deficits. To the illegals, your free smartphones stop working, your hotels give you 24 hours to put up cash or vacate, your SNAP cards and prepaid debit cards stop working, your free air transport ends, and the only medical care you get is that to prevent immediate death. Anything you need? See your sanctuary providers.
The sooner the Better , cutting OFF the cell phones. Why the Hell should we keep paying for them! It can be done all at one Time! Do It Now !!
