After suggesting on CNN that they might stay in the U.S., Mullin explained that TPS is temporary and emphasized that individuals without legal status are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/el-paso-clears-out-migrant-camps-ahead-of-biden-visit\/\" title=\"El Paso Clears Out Migrant Camps Ahead Of Biden Visit\">considered illegally present<\/a>. They have options to seek permanent residence, temporary visas, or return to their home countries, with assistance provided for the latter.Mullin reaffirmed that TPS was never meant to be permanent and noted that some migrants who overstayed visas could apply for different statuses if eligible. He also emphasized that those with criminal backgrounds or who rely on social welfare are unlikely to qualify for other immigration programs. Mullin&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-senator-couldnt-care-less-about-gas-prices-because-she-drives-electric\/\" title=\"Democrat Senator Couldn...t

href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-case-for-mass-deportation\/\" title=\"The Case For Mass Deportation\u00a0\">aggressive immigration enforcement<\/a>.Mullin responded via social media,stressing that illegal aliens must either accept voluntary departure or face removal,underscoring the temporary nature of TPS and the administration&#8217;s focus on deportations.
