Biden extends time in US for 800,000 Venezuelans, Salvadorans as Trump readies immigration crackdown

About 600,000 Venezuelans and more than 200,000 Salvadorans already living in the United States can legally remain another 18 months, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday, barely a week before President-elect Donald Trump takes office with promises of hardline immigration policies.
The article discusses President Joe Biden's decision to extend temporary protected status (TPS) for approximately 800,000 Venezuelan and Salvadoran migrants, allowing them to remain in the U.S. for an additional 18 months. This move comes as former President Donald Trump, who is preparing for a potential return to the White House, has promised a stringent crackdown on immigration if re-elected. Trump's proposed policies include mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and reinstating a travel ban on certain Muslim-majority countries. The Biden administration's extension of TPS is seen as a humanitarian gesture, providing relief to migrants from countries experiencing ongoing crises, while Trump's plans signal a stark contrast, aiming for a significant overhaul of the current immigration system.
