(AP Photo\/Gregory Bull)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:42 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, February 24, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Far-left activists are pressuring Joe Biden to give more immigration benefits to the holders of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/temporary-protected-status\">Temporary Protected Status<\/a> or TPS.\u00a0 At a rally in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Democrat activists demanded that TPS holders be granted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/green-card\">permanent resident cards<\/a>, which are also known as green cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, now more than ever it\u2019s crucial for us to get a legal residence for our brothers and sisters who have TPS, \u201d stated Jackie Reyes-Yanes, the executive director of the D.C. Mayor\u2019s Office on Latino Affairs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nearly 60,000 Temporary Protected Status recipients live in the DC region. There is nothing temporary about their place in our communities. They deserve permanent residency and a path to citizenship! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TPSjustice?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TPSjustice<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/maNhEzitTw\">https:\/\/t.co\/maNhEzitTw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CM Janeese Lewis George (@CMLewisGeorgeW4) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CMLewisGeorgeW4\/status\/1364323660648116231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the immigration law, however, TPS is only given to foreign citizens for the duration of a crisis or a natural disaster in their country after which they are expected to go home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the youth does this for our parents just because we don\u2019t want to be separated from them or have to go to a country that isn\u2019t like, its not viable for us to live there, because we wouldn\u2019t get a good education or anything like that,\u201d stated Virginia Reina-Landaverde, the daughter of TPS holder in D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Protesters cited economic reasons are behind their push to remain in the U.S., which contradicts the original humanitarian purpose of TPS. Thousands of TSP holders have remained in the U.S. over the past 20 years, although their original documents were issued for just one year.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/china-seeking-to-redefine-human-rights-in-pursuit-of-socialist-goals\/\">China seeking to redefine human rights in pursuit of socialist goals<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274110,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21050663299270-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Democrats demand green cards for \u2018temporary protected\u2019 aliens in D.C. rally","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-167824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21050663299270-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Democrats demand green cards for \u2018temporary protected\u2019 aliens in D.C. rally","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167824\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
