"Each year, TPS holders contribute $29 billion in spending power to the U.S. economy, and pay nearly $8 billion in taxes, according to a report published Tuesday by FWD.us, an advocacy policy research group focused on criminal justice and immigration."
"Since 2001, TPS holders have injected $262 billion into the U.S. economy, the report found. But the group has still been caught in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigrants and asylum-seekers in the U.S."
"In February, a federal judge blocked an end to TPS for Haitian nationals, up to 350,000 of whom live in the U.S. Last week, House Republicans joined Democrats to force a vote on a bill that would extend Haitians' eligibility for TPS by three years."
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, impacting over 350,000 individuals. TPS allows nationals from countries affected by war or disaster to live and work in the U.S. Since 1990, TPS holders have contributed significantly to the economy, injecting $262 billion since 2001. Despite their economic contributions, the Trump administration has sought to end TPS for several countries, facing resistance from Congress and the courts.
