[The renewal of TPS for Nicaraguan storm victims following Hurricane Mitch] was an opportunity for Trump and his team to show some toughness on the immigration question. They had to make a political point using either Nicaragua or Honduras, and it wasn’t a tough call. Honduras has more Republican friends and fewer enemies than Nicaragua. This is yet another example that the U.S. immigration system is broken. If you give someone protection for a certain amount of time it should become permanent. The idea of sending someone back after 20 years is unconscionable.
