“Approximately 6,300 immigrants with TPS designations call Nevada home and have lived in the United States on average of 24 years. They pay taxes, millions of dollars into social security benefits, raise their children who are U.S. citizens, and contribute to our local and national economy,” said Geoconda Argüello-Kline, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union – Nevada’s largest immigrant organization. “Terminating TPS for workers is inhumane and would criminalize thousands of current legal workers in major cities and industries overnight. We call on Republicans to enact permanent legislation and not separate and destroy families who have deep roots in the United States.”
