10. These TPS people

have been in the US working legally, opening businesses and paying taxes for 20 years or more as is the case with Honduras(2020). 18 years for El Salvador(2019) and other countries maybe a little bit less.

Every 18 months they go through an FBI fingerprint biometrics background check and pay $400-$500 for processing.

So when their last TPS expires , they'll revert back to being undocumented. No more driver's licenses, no more work permits. So DHS and all agencies have their addresses etc. Easy pickings for ICE. Devastating for them and their families.
