El Salvador and Immigration Benefits

el: The point is not that there be a complete recovery of all ills in the country, Kelly said, according to Metro News. The point is, whatever the event is that caused TPS to be granted that event is over, and they can return. In an interview with The Associated Press, Secretary John Kelly sent strong signals that immigration benefits known as temporary protected status should not be as open-ended as they have become for tens of thousands of people from Haiti and Central America. That might shock 86,000 immigrants from Honduras and another 263,000 from El Salvador, who constitute the vast majority of the program's current beneficiaries. Immigrants from El Salvador were included in 2001 after a series of earthquakes. The Hondurans, along with more than 5,000 immigrants from Nicaragua, became eligible for the temporary protections in 1999 because of destruction from Hurricane Mitch a year earlier.
