The ending of the Temporary Protective Status (T.P.S.) program effects people of all ages. In some countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador there are not many opportunities for people. The people mentioned in the article by Danae Vilchez change their name in the article to protect their identity. There was one elderly women mentioned who is 91 years old and suffers from dementia. This women took advantage of TPS when she came to this country with a visa however now her relatives have fear of deportation for her. This woman has no family in Nicaragua and needs a caregiver to be with her all the time due to her dementia. If this women gets deported back to Nicaragua what will happened to her?
Most immigrants who have used T.P.S. program have been in this country longterm. Having to go back to a country where they have not gone back in years can be a difficult transition. People who have taken advantage of the T.P.S. program have jobs and pay taxes. They are productive members of society. The white house taking this program away is going to cause major conflict and immigrants are going to have to live in fear.
