"We love immigrants, as long as they do it the right way!"

Trump ended #TPS for #ElSalvador on 9/9/19. Extension was granted to 1/20/20--but #TPSElSalvador holders have no proof of this beyond USCIS website, and it's causing all kinds of chaos around here. Cruelty upon cruelty.

So, so tired of hearing #MAGA nation scream at my clients to do things "the right way" as they gleefully watch this administration rip up the very few options they may have had left.

To be clear, #TPS recipients are still in lawful immigration status for the next few months... but a substantial number of them don't actually know that and are now unnecessarily terrified that they are undocumented. Also seeing them (wrongfully) lose jobs, cancel intl travel

*CORRECTION: 1/2/20. Stray zero there

I live & work in one of the largest Salvadoran communities on the East Coast, & impending loss of #TPS--a status comparable to #DACA which most have held since 2001--is a tragedy in slow motion. Massive trauma, family separation, & economic loss to #Boston if Congress doesn't act
