the Honduran immigrants they left in private cars from cities like Houston (Texas) the Sacrament (California), Explained this Sunday to Efe Juan Flores, president of the September 15 Foundation.
On Monday and Tuesday, others will begin their journey hondurenys desde “almost all states “dthe country to ask a Biden that gives a migratory status lequal to about one million of undocumented immigrants of this Central American country which, he calculated, live in the USA.
According to data from the Pew Center, some 79,000 Hondurans are currently protected by the “old” TPS, Which was established in 1998 and is extended until October 4 close while resolving a judicial dispute on the cancellation of the program decided by the former president Donald Trump.
The Government of United States deSign the countries where the natural disasters or violence justifies the protection given to those fleeing these nations and the protects from deportation and the grants work permits.
However, for Flores and the hundreds of Hondurans qIf you plan to travel to the US capital, a new one is essential TPS for his country, which currently “does not offer conditions” because they can come back.

The president of his country, Joan Orlando Hernández, traveled last December to Washington, where he called for the extension of the current one TPS, Which only protects a few 44,000 Hondurans.
