Immigration: El Salvador headline roundup

Compare and contrast, in both tone and content:

BBC:
Trump gives 200,000 Salvadoreans deadline to leave US

Donald Trump’s administration has decided to cancel permits that allow nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador to live and work in the US.

They were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) after earthquakes rocked the Central American country in 2001.

Salvadoreans now have until 9 September 2019 to leave or face deportation, unless they find a legal way to stay.

WSJ:
U.S. to End Protections for Some Salvadoran Immigrants. Group was granted temporary permission to stay in 2001 following earthquakes in homeland (emphasis added),

The Trump administration’s decision Monday to send home Salvadorans who have long lived in the U.S. brings to a close nearly two decades of policy that let nearly half a million immigrants from nations affected by disasters remain in the country.

Since the fall, the administration has ended a series of humanitarian programs benefiting immigrants from Central America and elsewhere. Separately, President Donald Trump ended a program advanced by his Democratic predecessor that protected from deportation young immigrants, known as Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. as children.

All told, more than a million immigrants granted permission to work and live in the U.S. are being told they must eventually leave, absent action from Congress.

NYT:
Trump Administration Says That Nearly 200,000 Salvadorans Must Leave

Nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador who have been allowed to live in the United States for more than a decade must leave the country, government officials announced Monday. It is the Trump administration’s latest reversal of years of immigration policies and one of the most consequential to date.

Homeland security officials said that they were ending a humanitarian program, known as Temporary Protected Status, for Salvadorans who have been allowed to live and work legally in the United States since a pair of devastating earthquakes struck their country in 2001.

WaPo:
The Daily 202: Trump systematically alienates the Latino diaspora — from El Salvador to Puerto Rico and Mexico

THE BIG IDEA: A Manchurian Candidate who was secretly trying to alienate Hispanics would be hard pressed to do as much damage to the Republican brand as President Trump.

What you say, what you leave out, and how you say it, matters.

    “The protections for Central Americans have been renewed multiple times by both Republican and Democratic administrations. Those renewals had become practically routine, though these protections for people from countries in other regions of the world have come and gone.”

    Despite the headline tweaking I’m sure this is the real issue. I think it is easy to understand the Trump admin if viewed as a hostile takeover in a business sense. The new CEO is cleaning out the deadwood. Automatic programs etc. are being reviewed and ended regardless of what the employees think. If all goes according to plan the new corporation will emerge in three or four years. True, it doesn’t always work but usually there is no choice.

    I am Central American, first generation Un-DACA. In other words we never got any benefits. Congress passed the TPS Resolution for Salvadoreans on the early 90, for two years.
    Fast forward 10 years it applied again to the country due to an earth quake.
    TPS’s were granted by Republican Presidents, Clinton denied it. Bush Jr. Granted.
    Every 10 years must HR’s are visited and amended, as necessary.
    1996 Clinton passed an Immigration Bill, manipulated so that the TLC with mexico could not face any hurdles in Congress. Granted in it was building the wall, “barrier” in cooperation with both countries .
    Nicaragua ABC, worked by the Cuban Americans congressman from Florida, which included Cubans, was passed under NACARA. As central americans were unifying forces to ask clinton for an immigration reform bill to adjust status of irregular migrants. the ballards divided us and took the Nicaraguans a big comunity south of Florida and passed NACARA.
    McCain/Shummer tried to passed an immigration reform, denied by Democrats.
    McCain/Kennedy tried to passed an immigrattion reform, denied by Democrats.
    Obama, laid a trap for the next Republican President, dividing the families through DACA.
