But what about the children? What happens to the 192,000 U.S. citizen children of Salvadoran TPS parents?

BY BISHOP MARK SEITZ, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 01/01/18 12:00 PM EST


The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must decide by Jan. 8 whether to extend or end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador.

TPS was created by Congress in 1990 and allows people whose countries have experienced natural disasters, armed conflicts or exceptional situations to remain temporarily in the United States.

Approximately 200,000 TPS holders from El Salvador live in the United States, primarily in California and Texas.

What about them?  They belong with their parents, and their parents belong in El Salvador.

They can return to El Salvador with their parents, and then apply to return to the United States at age 18, if they wish.
