Bill > AJR8

This joint resolution condemns the Trump administration's efforts to terminate or curtail Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a humanitarian immigration program established in 1990 that provides legal status and work authorization to nationals from countries experiencing extraordinary conditions like armed conflict or environmental disasters. The resolution specifically criticizes the administration's decision to end TPS for people from countries like El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Haiti, which affects approximately 325,000 individuals nationwide, including 68,000 in California. It highlights the significant economic and social contributions of TPS recipients, noting that over 80% participate in the workforce and generate substantial economic output, with many having lived in the United States for over 20 years and having US citizen children. The resolution urges Congress to enact legislation providing a path to permanent residency and citizenship for TPS holders, emphasizing their deep integration into American communities and the potential harm of family separations. Additionally, the resolution calls on California's congressional representatives to protect TPS recipients and oppose efforts to terminate their legal status.
