With temporary status for Venezuelans, the Biden administration turns to a familiar tool

The Biden administration has announced temporary legal status for around 472,000 Venezuelans who arrived in the US, including some who entered illegally. The move expands the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which grants work permits to individuals from countries deemed unsafe due to natural disasters or civil strife. Critics argue that the announcement will incentivize more Venezuelans to attempt to enter the US illegally.
