Career Diplomats Pushed Back on Trump's Attempt to End ‘Temporary Protected Status' for Central American Migrants

[National Review] The early Trump administration batted down warnings from career U.S. diplomats who warned that some hardline immigration policies could have dangerous national security consequences, according to diplomatic cables released by Senate Democrats Thursday.
We need these people for the garden and the silver.
Some diplomats, including those at the U.S. Embassies in El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti, were concerned that the administration’s plan to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for undocumented immigrants would cause a spike in transnational crime and illegal immigration, and would damage the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America and the Caribbean.

"A sudden termination of TPS for El Salvador would undermine additional cooperation to tackle the root causes of illegal migration and overwhelm the country’s ability to absorb the refugees," then-U.S. Ambassador Jean Elizabeth Manes wrote to Washington, D.C. in July, 2017.

Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Thomas Shannon objected even more strenuously to ending the program for the three countries.

The USA passed that point 30 years ago.
