English/Español: Rubio on Extension of TPS for Venezuela
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after the Biden Administration announced an 18 month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible Venezuelans, which Rubio has repeatedly called for. TPS provides temporary legal status and work authorization for foreign nationals who cannot return to their country of origin and has historically been implemented in cases of natural disasters, armed conflict, and other extraordinary circumstances.
Rubio is the co-author of the Venezuela Temporary Protected Status Act of 2021, a bipartisan bill to grant TPS for eligible Venezuelans currently in the U.S. who fled the Maduro regime’s man-made crisis.
“The Biden Administration’s decision to extend Temporary Protected Status for eligible Venezuelans in our nation is overdue,” Rubio said. “This renewal will grant necessary relief to many who cannot return to their beloved homeland right now because of the Maduro narco-regime’s destruction of Venezuela.”
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que la Administración Biden anunciara la extensión de 18 meses del Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, por sus siglas en inglés) para venezolanos elegibles, una medida que Rubio ha pedido repetidamente. El TPS brinda estatus legal temporal y autorización de trabajo para ciudadanos extranjeros que no pueden regresar a su país natal. Esta designación históricamente se ha implementado en casos de desastres naturales, conflictos armados y otras circunstancias extraordinarias.
Rubio es el coautor de la Ley de Estatus de Protección Temporal de Venezuela del 2021, una legislación bipartidista para otorgar TPS a los venezolanos elegibles que se encuentran actualmente en EE.UU. y que huyeron de la crisis provocada por el régimen de Maduro.
“La decisión de la Administración Biden de extender el Estatus de Protección Temporal para venezolanos elegibles en nuestro país es tardía”, Rubio dijo. “Esta renovación otorgará alivio necesario a muchos que no pueden regresar a su amada patria en este momento debido a la destrucción de Venezuela a manos del narco-régimen de Maduro”.
