U.S. Employers Told to Dismiss Thousands of Immigrant Workers
Shifting deadlines are confusing businesses as the end of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and others looms, making them ineligible to live and work in the United States.

The Homeland Security Department told employers on Friday that they must let go in coming weeks the hundreds of thousands of foreign workers who have been allowed to live in the United States through a humanitarian program the Trump administration has sought to dismantle.

The work permits of Haitians with Temporary Protected Status will expire on July 24. Such permits will also lapse on July 17 for those from Ethiopia, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen, according to notices issued for each affected country by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which oversees the legal immigration system.

The guidance comes on the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision last month upholding the Trump administration’s authority to end protections for T.P.S. holders from Haiti and Syria. Once the terminations take effect, the recipients become vulnerable to deportation. More than 330,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians have been living in the country under the program, a designation granted by the U.S. government when it determines that crisis conditions in a country, such as a natural disaster or civil unrest, make it unsafe for its citizens to return.

The five other countries collectively have about 20,000 T.P.S. holders, according to the National Immigration Forum, an advocacy group.

Thousands of T.P.S. recipients from Haiti work in the health care sector and as caregivers to older Americans. The program has also allowed thousands of beneficiaries to work in the manufacturing, construction and transportation industries.

In addition to immigrants from Haiti and Syria, the countries at the center of the Supreme Court case, the administration had already announced its intent to end Temporary Protected Status for workers from the other five countries. Lawsuits in federal court had prevented the terminations, but the Supreme Court ruling created a precedent that is expected to lead the lower courts to allow them to go ahead.

1. Dumb shits..................

further slow the economy down. Corporations already realizing that firing, laying off employees in place of AI was a mistake.

Our economy sucks - tariffs, conflicts, AI, high cost of living, no affordable healthcare and now this.

Those 6 assholes on the US SC are helping the republican party destroy the USA.

3. Wait until the shit literally hits the fan.

Imagine this:

One or both of your elderly parents is living in a nursing home. Helpless. Can't get out of bed without assistance.

Before this edict, there was one nurse's aide for 10 residents, perhaps 15. That's a stretch for good care.

Now, the nurse's aide had to leave to return to Haiti.

Your parent is hungry, waiting to be fed, literally. Your parent is incontinent and is lying in his/her own urine and feces. Your parent has to be turned to avoid bed sores. Your parent needs medication.

Sure, you can sue the nursing home, but there isn't enough staff.

The powers-that-be don't realize or care what their executive decision will have wrought.
