The Democratic senators said some 200,000 Venezuelans in the United States could be protected from forcible removal if granted Temporary Protected Status, which is a temporary but renewable program created in 1990 to provide relief from deportation and access to work permits for foreign nationals from certain countries. With Democrats in control of the House, Senate and the presidency, Menendez said he is “convinced we will no longer be stymied in our efforts to enact an immigration system that reflects our nation’s values.” By Darryl Coote.
