Senate Democrats have called for the redesignation of deportation protections for immigrants from Venezuela and Nicaragua, citing poor conditions in their countries.
, many of them either designated or extended by the Biden administration. Critics have called the expanded use of the program"amnesty lite." Many Democrats have also supported a pathway to citizenship for those on TPS in the U.S.
Venezuela was designated in 2021 for 18 months, while Nicaragua was designated in 1999 and was renewed until it was terminated by the Trump administration. However, that termination was rescinded in June, and it has been extended by the administration for another 18 months.The lawmakers argue the situations in both countries justify a TPS designation for the nationals already living in the U.S.
"Both of these countries clearly qualify for a TPS designation under our immigration laws and merit the use of the executive’s statutory designation authority," the lawmakers wrote. "Many nationals from Venezuela and Nicaragua residing in the United States have been protected because of the current TPS designation. TPS has enabled them to find safety and security and afforded them the ability to work legally to support themselves and their families. In turn, they can contribute meaningfully to their communities back home, which helps stabilize their home countries."
