We petition the Obama administration to consider the grant of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for all nationals of Venezuela currently present in the United States due to conditions in their country that temporarily prevent them from returning safely.
Current extraordinary circumstances such as an ongoing armed conflict, political turmoil and systematic human rights violations by the government of Venezuela prevent the adequate and safe return of its nationals to their home country.
We urge you to enable the Attorney General to designate nationals of Venezuela, who are currently suffering from political upheaval and consistent Human Rights violations in the hands of the Venezuelan government, to remain in the U.S. for increments of 18 months and obtain a work authorization document.
