1 million migrants in the US rely on temporary protections that Trump could target

NEW YORK (AP) — Maribel Hidalgo fled her native Venezuela a year ago with a 1-year-old son, trudging for days through Panama’s Darien Gap, then riding the rails across Mexico to the United States.
They were living in the U.S. when the Biden administration announced Venezuelans would be offered Temporary Protected Status, which allows people already in the United States to stay and work legally if their homelands are deemed unsafe. People from 17 countries, including Haiti, Afghanistan, Sudan and recently Lebanon, are currently receiving such relief.
But President-elect Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have promised mass deportations and suggested they would scale back the use of TPS that covers more than 1 million immigrants.
“What Donald Trump has proposed doing is we’re going to stop doing mass parole,” Vance said at an Arizona rally in October, mentioning a separate immigration status called humanitarian parole that is also at risk. “We’re going to stop doing mass grants of Temporary Protected Status.”
Hidalgo wept as she discussed her plight with a reporter as her son, now 2, slept in a stroller outside the New York migrant hotel where they live. At least 7.7 million people have fled political violence and economic turmoil in Venezuela in one of the biggest displacements worldwide.
“My only hope was TPS,” Hidalgo said. “My worry, for example, is that after everything I suffered with my son so that I could make it to this country, that they send me back again.”
Venezuelans along with Haitians and Salvadorans are the largest group of TPS beneficiaries and have the most at stake.

Does AP understand what the word “temporary” means?

1) Cut off all government funding.
2) Go after employers. BIGTIME. Issue stiff fines for any business employing illegal aliens and make it clear the owners will go to prison if they're caught doing it again.
3) Offer free transport back to their country of origin for all the illegal aliens now that the money's been cut off.

I’ll bet she never walked more than a quarter mile. She more than likely rode in a brand new Chevy pickup. That hiking BS is just a bunch of “media mafia” misinformation and lies. She sure as hell didn’t walk from Venezuela with a year old child. Anyone who believes that is an idiot.

Don’t start your relationship with America by breaking our laws.
It’s not okay. Any consequences are self-inflicted.

We have a million criminals to get rid of first...but we have to track them down. Maybe those 87,000 IRS agents can do the job instead of tracking US citizens.

that is a lot of determination, effort and decision making.
If she had only done it in Venezuela.

Upside down world. Haitians are putting bullet holes in US planes so the FAA has banned flying there for 30 days. We can’t go there so Biden is bringing them here. Mindboggling.

HILARIOUS: Parody Ad Features Company That Offers to Cryogenically Freeze Liberals for Duration of Trump’s Presidency (VIDEO)

A viral video that’s making its way around social media right now is an ad for a fictional company called ‘Cryo’ which offers to cryogenically freeze liberals and wake them up when Trump’s presidency is over.
One of the things that makes the ad so effective is that the production quality is realistic. Also, the entire premise of the ad and the service reflect a certain level of reality. You know that there are people who would actually use this service if it was really available.
The ad appears to be a production by the folks at Newzy:
