DHS USES 2001 EARTHQUAKE AS EXCUSE
ALLOWING 217,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO REMAIN IN U.S. 

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), “El Salvador remains unable, temporarily, to handle adequately the return of its nationals,” due to two earthquakes ten years ago in 2001. But this was enough justification in Obama’s holier-than-thou opinion to quietly extend the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) originally granted to 217,000 illegal immigrants from El Salvador.


The original TPS was issued by the Bush administration in March 2001 following the earthquakes in January and February of that year.  On the “bright” side, one quarter of Salvadoran families can continue relying on remittances from their relatives living and working illegally in our country, who sent home roughly $3.5 billion back home in 2010 alone (accounting for one-seventh of El Salvador’s total GDP).
