House lawmakers next week will examine how temporary amnesty programs, including Temporary Protected Status or TPS, were abused by past administrations to enable permanent benefits and residency for illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

The House Oversight Committee\u2019s Task Force on Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses will conduct the inquiry at a hearing Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPro-amnesty politicians and the radical left have abused our immigration system to the detriment of the American people,\u201d said Task Force Chairman Brandon Gill, Texas Republican.<\/p>\n

Temporary Protected Status has been extended to immigrants from more than a dozen countries and for years has been routinely extended, becoming a de facto amnesty in the eyes of critics.<\/p>\n

The TPS program expanded under the Obama and Biden administrations.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has cracked down on TPS, revoking the status for millions of immigrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Myanmar, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, South Sudan and other countries.<\/p>\n

Lawsuits on behalf of immigrants from those nations have kept their TPS status alive, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cPro-illegal alien activists are engaging in frivolous litigation against the Trump Administration to allow continued abuse of the U.S. immigration system,\u201d Mr. Gill said.<\/p>\n

The hearing will feature testimony from Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for reduced immigration.<\/p>\n

Other witnesses include Matt O\u2019Brien, deputy director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, and Arnoldo Diaz, of the National TPS Alliance, which advocates for non-citizens living in the United States under Temporary Protected Status.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court is soon expected to issue a ruling on whether the Trump administration can revoke TPS for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Advocates for TPS say revoking it would put millions of immigrants at risk and threaten the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n

According to the American Immigration Council, more than 164,000 TPS holders from Haiti earned $3.9 billion in total household income and paid $984 million in taxes. The organization said 1.3 million people were living in the United States under TPS as of March 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

Critics of TPS say the de facto amnesty program threatens national security and is a drain on public programs.<\/p>\n
