US EditionUS business owners are concerned about Venezuelan employees with temporary status
- Wilmer Escaray, a business owner operating numerous eateries and grocery stores primarily located in Doral, Florida, is feeling stressed following the Supreme Court's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan immigrants.
- This ruling comes after the Supreme Court removed a federal judge’s injunction that had delayed the termination of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan nationals, a program that permits them to reside and work legally in the U.S. Due to unsafe conditions in their home country.
- Escaray employs 150 people, at least 70% of whom are Venezuelan immigrants with TPS, many working in sectors such as hospitality, retail, and agriculture in a city known as "Little Venezuela."
- Escaray expressed concern that the situation would create significant difficulties for his business, while immigration attorney Evelyn Alexandra Batista recommended that both employers and employees consider other alternatives since TPS was never intended to be a long-term solution.
- The decision could expose hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans to deportation, creating uncertainty about their work authorization duration and significant challenges for employers like Escaray.
