A proposal to give nearly 400,000 migrants the opportunity to live and work in the U.S. legally was not authorized due to concerns about triggering a spike in border crossings.
— President Biden's top immigration advisers refrained from offering nearly 400,000 migrants a chance to work and live in the U.S. legally under a program known as Temporary Protected Status due to concerns about a potential spike in border crossings, three people familiar with the internal debate told CBS News.
TPS does not benefit migrants who have yet to reach the U.S., but over the years, some government officials have voiced concern that expansions of the program nevertheless act as"pull factors" that fuel unlawful migration, even if the new arrivals don't qualify for it. Nicaraguans journeyed to the U.S.-Mexico border in record numbers last year, though arrivals from Nicaragua there have slowed recently.
"The political consideration, which is just 'let's be harsh,' which seems to be what the administration has adopted from where they originally were, and following the Republican mantra, is never going to satisfy Republicans in Congress. But most importantly, it's really not going to solve the problem," he added.
In addition to deliberations around TPS eligibility for Nicaraguans, the administration has also been debating whether to expand a similar program for Venezuelan migrants.
