The United States government is going to extend Temporary Protected Status to an additional 500,000 Venezuelans.
The number of people in the US living under Temporary Protected Status will surpass 1.1 million as a result of this program expansion.
The administration is doing this because it is rapidly approaching its limit of how many people can be admitted under “parole authority” and so DHS needs to shift people to other status categories.
This “reshuffle” of Venezuelans will allow hundreds of thousands more people from Haiti, Central America, Cuba, Egypt and Asia to enter the US.
On top of the many, many, millions of people who have entered the country already.
