Lol. They are are chanting "Si Se Puede!" ...for the non-Spanish speakers, "Yes we can." Kinda ironic since Obama was the original "Deporter in Chief."

Ahhh Tijuana. If I were there, the last thing I'd want is to cross the border. They should catch a donkey show and drink a Corona.

Perception and reality don't match when it comes to politics.

A more accurate translation is Yes you can or Yes it can be done

Muy bueno El Denny....

Hey you! That's senor Denny!

I don't know how to make the squiggly thing over the "n".

 

[Kutnupe14]

Here's an interesting run around. Apparently most of the migrants that we've heard so much about in the news (and have arrived at the border) are Hondurans. Hondurans came here because of TPS.
Wellll.... today, the president ended TPS for Hondurans. They have until 2020 to leave.

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

The next democratic presidential nominee could be at the border right now. Oh wait, Honduras. Not Hawaii. Nevermind.

"Temporary Protected Status" - kinda self explanatory.

It good you've learned to tread lightly. Life is a learning experience.

Im not challenging any of that, but the timing is convenient.

Yep, I'm sure the latest episodes down south had reminded him. I'd forgotten till you just mentioned it.

Uh. OK?

What is TPS?
Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, was established by Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990. TPS is intended to protect foreign nationals in the U.S. from being returned to their home country if it became unsafe during the time they were in the U.S. and would put them at risk of violence, disease or death. Under the law, the secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS in three scenarios:

Ongoing armed conflict (such as a civil war)
An environmental disaster (such as earthquake or hurricane), or an epidemic; or
Other extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevents nationals from the country from safely returning home.

The country's designation can last as little as six months, the minimum, or as long as 18 months, the maximum. Sixty days prior to the end of an initial designation or re-designation period, the secretary must review the conditions of the foreign country to determine if the unsafe conditions still exist. If conditions continue, the secretary may extend TPS for another six-, 12- or 18-month period. There is no limit on the number of times the secretary may extend TPS, so long as the conditions continue.

Nationals of a TPS-designated country or people without nationality who last resided in a TPS-designated country who were physically present in the U.S. when the designation was made and meet certain requirements may be eligible for TPS. If TPS is granted, the applicant receives protection from deportation and work authorization to support themselves while they remain in the U.S. By statute, TPS does not provide a path to lawful permanent resident status or citizenship.

TPS does not grant any priviledges except to those affected persons already residing in the US at the time of the designation. So unless you are insinuating that Trump ended TPS for the Hondurans already here as some form of punishment for the other Hondurans collecting at the border (and some facts/cites might be in order if so) then your assertion is a non sequitur

January 5, 1999 was when Hondurans were designated for TPS (due to hurricane Mitch). 19 years ago. If their country is still a ****hole, I'm pretty sure its not our fault.

So, why aren't they staying in Mexico? Mexico thought it was so important to let them through, they should let them stay.

[actaeon277]

Dang. Had to change a word. Darn spell check.

Should be "aren't" not "are"

Well, if the people were persons who would've been granted entry based on TPS, why wouldn't they?

 

[BugI02]

Again, TPS does not grant entry - that's asylum. TPS only prevents deportation if you are from the country receiving the designation and were already in the US when the event triggering TPS (hurricane Mitch, in the case of Honduras) occurred. It was meant to be a way for people here legally to be able to overstay their visa and not have to return home into the aftermath of a natural (or manmade) disaster. This is why the designation has to be renewed over a fairly short period and it expires if not renewed. It was never meant to be an open border's back channel (which is apparently what it has become)

Who has been paying to feed these people now and throughout their journey? What kind of sanitation is there on the mexican side of the border?
