    TPS is a lawful status in federal law. But it’s also not a regular immigration status that you’d get with an actual immigrant visa.

    The idea is that TPS recipients are going to ship back out just as soon as Haiti (or wherever) gets its act together again. It’s not a very secure status and does not lead to green cards or naturalization.

      But the whole point is that they are here “legally”, so Vance is just telling more lies and is going to get people hurt or killed.
