S. In january and february of 2001, two earthquakes in el salvador killed more than 1,000 people. In march of that year, the butchered administration granted salvadorans legal entrance into the u. S. Under a humanitarian Relief Program that allows International Victims of disasters and war to live and work in the u. S. Until its safe for them to return. These people have been living by the rules. President trump has phased out their productions far more aggressively than his predecessors. Administration officials contend el salvador has recovered from the 2001 earthquakes and as they did with nicaraguans in november, they argue its time for those citizens to return home. The name itself explains a lot. Temporary protected status. The government looked at the situation on the ground and assessed that its no longer unsafe. The department of Homeland Security says it covers ten countries under temporary protected status. Trump administration has announced its phasing out protections for sudanese, haitians, nicaraguans. Still reviewing the status of hondurans and those from south sudan.

Democrats and even some republicans argue the salvadorans over the past 17 years have built lives in the u. S. Potential implications in the hemisphere and in particular in el salvador could affect us here in the mid to longterm and very negative sense. I understand why theyre doing it. The congressman points out many of these salvadorans are raising children born here in the u. S. Over the past 17 years. Those children are american citizens, and there is still a danger in el salvador he says from drug and gang violence. Bret rich edson live at the state department. Thank you. We are once again counting down the days, now 11, to a possible Government Shutdown. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill tonight with an update on the talks to try to prevent that and how immigration significantly fits in. Immigration reform and enforcement, the construction of a wall and Border Security, as well as dealing with the issue of daca. Tomorrow there will be a bipartisan meeting with congressional leaders to discuss immigration. 18 billion to finish the southern Border Security. The president is committed to having that as part of a larger daca agreement. First things first. The government is due to run on the money friday january 19 and thats the immediate priority for the white house. A budget deadline is not the time to be passing other pieces of legislation on immigration or other issues. We want a clean funding bill that supports our National Security priorities. Top republican lawmakers they boosting defense spending is critical. Its been devastated by the cuts that have gone through in the obama administration. We had a National Defense breathing from the cia, secretary of state, secretary of defense, general mattis, going through the challenges around the world and making sure that america is continued to be safe. Democrats on their base argue their leverage is now so they want to tie immigration to the budget deadline. Prominent liberals say they are okay with Border Security. The idea of spending 18 billion on a wall that most people think it will not do what he says it will do does not make any sense. Republicans no Senate Democrats supported more money for Border Security in 2013. The difference seems to be terminology. Democrats do not want a border wall. Bret mike emanuel live on the help.
