PanAm Podcast: Was Trump Right to End TPS for Salvadoran Immigrants?

from PanAmPodcast · host Panampost

The Trump administration recently decided to end temporary protective status (TPS) for an estimated 260,000 Salvadoran immigrants. The program was originally put into place in the wake of a devastating 2001 earthquake. Now that the damage from that earthquake has been repaired, the Department of Homeland Security has suggested that conditions are in place for the Salvadorans to return to their home country. But critics claim that El Salvador is still too dangerous to take these people back, and that these families have put down roots in the United States and are paying taxes. Was this the correct decision on the part of the Trump administration, and what are the economic implications of this move?
