Honduras requests US to extend TPS for its citizens after hurricanes

Tegucigalpa, Dec 5(UNI) The Honduran government of Saturday asked the United States to extend the temporary migration protections for thousands of its citizens to mitigate the devastation caused by the two recent hurricanes that hit Central America.
Less than 80,000 Hondurans have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the US, the Congressional Research Service said in an October report, which prevents their removal from the country and allows them to work legally in the United Sates, Al Jazeera reported.
Currently it is estimated that more than one million Hondurans live in the US, both with and without legal immigration status, and together they send more than $5bn back to their country annually, which is a major source of support for the Honduran economy.
In a statement on Friday, Honduran Foreign Minister Lisandro Rosales said the country had requested “a new TPS” programme from the US government, adding that Washington said it would analyse the request.
The current TPS protection for Hondurans is set to expire on January 4.
