They will be allowed to stay. but no one knows how long. They will be allowed to work. but without status. And. as from the start. their neighbors from El Salvador will continue to be deported to their ravaged homeland. Mr. Speaker. literally as the new immigration law goes into effect. the administration has begun to share it. The Attorney General has discretion to legalize some Nicaraguans. He can grant refugee status to some. He can grant temporary EVD. as I have repeatedly urged him to. But the law does not allow him to ignore them. and to ignore the law. In this effort to sidestep difficult political issues. the administration has given those who support my bill and those who oppose it something to unite on. Lets demand fair play for Nicaraguans. Salvadorans. and our immigration laws.
