Americans harshly criticize the decision of the national
government to open the doors not only so that about two million Venezuelans
remain in the national territory, but also that another 6 million are
encouraged to reach US soil.
The above, after the Secretary of Homeland Security of the
United States, Alejandro Mayorkas, published an 18-month extension for
Venezuelans who are in the United States to request Temporary Protected Status
(TPS), which allows them to remain in the country legally. That time allows and
encourages millions of Venezuelans who are currently in South America to come
to the United States and request their TPS.
Criticism was not long in coming when Mayorkas announced on
August 3 what was interpreted as a true amnesty for Venezuelans.
“Through this notice, the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) announces extensions of the initial registration periods from 180 days to
18 months for initial (new) applicants under the Temporary Protected Status
(TPS) designations for Venezuela, Syria and Burma ”, can be read in an official
summary of the DHS statement.
This extension to request TPS, enables some 6 million
Venezuelans who are currently exiled in different parts of South America and
Central America, to be motivated and have enough time to go to the United
States in order to request protection status that would allow them to stay and
work legally within US territory.
