NC immigrants with temporary status get a Christmas miracle, but future uncertain Aaron Sánchez-Guerra, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Dec. 22 Just weeks ago, Glenda Polanco received news she described as nothing short of a Christmas miracle.
That s because Polanco and over 13,000 other Salvadoran, Haitian and Honduran immigrants in North Carolina with Temporary Protected Status found out they could keep living and working legally in the United States well into 2021.
For TPS recipients, the extension means not having to worry right now about being sent to their home countries, in some cases after being here for decades. My Christmas miracle came true, said Polanco, 28, of El Salvador. This is home to me. This is all I know.
