“Seventeen
years after granting "temporary protected status" to nearly
200,000 Salvadoran citizens who had fled earthquakes in 2001 or who
were already here illegally and claimed they were unable to return to
their homeland because of civil strife, America is setting a
deadline:
Get
right with the law or go home.
As
if we haven't shown enough generosity to these provisional guests in
our home, the Department of Homeland Security gave the Salvadorans
until September 2019 to get their affairs in order. But the usual
suspects in the permanent Gang of Amnesty -- identity-politics
Democrats, Big Business Republicans, anti-rule of law activists and
sovereignty-sabotaging pundits -- condemned the Trump
administration's announcement this week with a heaping dose of
hyperbole, “racial cleansing,” “monstrous,” “genocide?”
The
federal statute that created TPS clearly mandates terminating the
protections once the conditions that led to TPS designation no longer
exist.
Back
in 1999, however, the Federation for American Immigration Reform
warned Congress:
"Each
special program that provides short-term relief has been followed by
persistent demands for similar treatment by other groups and
nationalities, not necessarily made up of persons in the same
circumstances. It has now been politicized beyond recognition, and
certainly no longer deserves the support of the general public."
Indeed,
TPS turned into TINO: Temporary in Name Only. Illegal aliens from
Honduras and Nicaragua were added to the list, followed by citizens
of Haiti, Nepal, Syria, Angola, Sudan, Yemen, Montserrat and more. To
date, we've granted sacrosanct TPS status to more than 400,000 people
from a total of 22 countries who have grown increasingly entitled to
automatic renewal of their protections every 18 months over the past
two decades.
There's
no polite way to tell houseguests who've overstayed their welcome
that it's time to go, but perpetual amnesty for illegal aliens --
whether it's called TPS, DACA or DREAM -- will only beget more
illegal immigration.
Time's
up.” Michelle Malkin
