[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The United States Supreme Court heard arguments Monday regarding the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program and the ability of immigrants with TPS who entered the country without documents to seek green cards.\u00a0 The case was brought by two Salvadoran immigrants who entered the US in 1997 and 1998, receiving TPS status in 2001 when El Salvador was designated as eligible.\u00a0 It appears unlikely that the Supreme Court will decide in their favor.\u00a0 The case is Sanchez v. Mayorkas.<\/p>\n

A ruling in this case could affect hundreds of thousands of immigrants from numerous countries who have TPS and entered the country without documentation.\u00a0 At issue is the wording of a legal statute that states that immigrants must be “inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States” to adjust status.\u00a0 United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals do not believe that the applicants meet this requirement, even though they have been in the country for more than 20 years.\u00a0 US Supreme Court watchers believe that the majority of justices agree.<\/p>\n

A recent immigration bill that was passed in the US House of Representatives, named the American Dream and Promise Act of 2021<\/a>, included the ability for TPS holders to seek permanent residency by specifying that all individuals with TPS designation are considered inspected and admitted.\u00a0 However, the bill currently faces an uphill battle in the US Senate.\u00a0 There is a small possibility that a ruling against the TPS applicants in this case could spur action in the Senate on this or another immigration bill.<\/p>\n
