The part not said is that those applications (1) need not be approved by the incoming Administration, and (2) if not approved, those people can be deported ASAP.

In a move that has many critics up in arms, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has granted amnesty to 850,000 illegal immigrants, further exacerbating concerns about the Biden administration’s border policies. With just days away from being outgoing President Joe Biden’s last week in office, critics argue that this decision, which effectively shields hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from deportation, signals an alarming disregard for the rule of law and sets a dangerous precedent for future immigration enforcement. With the U.S. southern border already overwhelmed by record numbers of illegal crossings, conservatives contend that this blanket amnesty acts as a stab in the back to President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.
With just days left as Biden’s border czar, Mayorkas announced the 18-month expansion of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty, which includes the 234,000 illegal immigrants from El Salvador who first got their TPS status after a 2001 earthquake that destroyed the nation’s economy. The mass amnesty also includes 600,000 economic migrants from Venezuela.
However, the once struggling economy is now growing, thanks to the successful crackdown on gang crime led by the country’s popular president, Nayib Bukele.
That's correct—Mayorkas cited "bad weather" as the reason for not sending the illegal aliens back to their home countries.
“El Salvador’s extension of TPS is based on geological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024, that continue to affect areas heavily impacted by the earthquakes in 2001,” Mayorkas said. The agency “is automatically extending [work permits] through March 9, 2026.”
“After reviewing the country conditions in Venezuela and consulting with interagency partners, it was determined that an 18-month TPS extension is warranted based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the inhumane Maduro regime. These conditions have contributed to high levels of crime and violence, impacting access to food, medicine, healthcare, water, electricity, and fuel,” his statement continued.
The amnesty will benefit Venezuela's Cuba-backed dictator by allowing 600,000 of his opponents to remain employed in U.S. jobs rather than protesting in the streets of Venezuela. Illegal immigrants can also send U.S. dollars back to their families in their home country.
Under Biden’s pro-illegal immigration czar, the number of migrants with TPS amnesty has tripled to around one million, including many Haitian immigrants invited to take advantage of U.S. jobs and housing in Springfield, Ohio.

This is all Great theater. They will get deported one way or another. Mayorkus better have amnesty insurance, or he'll be joining them.

In his final hours at the White House, President Joe Biden announced the cancellation of student debt for another 150,000 borrowers.
While he was unable to deliver on his promise of broad student loan forgiveness, President Biden has overseen the cancellation of student debt for more than 5 million Americans - more than any other president in US history.
In the last-minute move on Monday, the Education Department wiped out the loans by utilizing programs that were already in place before Biden took office.
His administration expanded those programs and used them to their fullest extent, pressing on with cancellation even after the Supreme Court rejected Biden's plan for a new forgiveness policy.

What a crock. Everybody knows that she doesn't want peter to fill her void.
President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday he would remove Cuba from the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism, leaving only Iran, Syria, and North Korea on the list.
Biden claimed in his declaration that Cuba had not sponsored terrorism for six months.

Hunter Biden's art collection went up in flames in Pacific Palisades. Apparently all of Hunter's art collection was stored by his friend Kevin Morris and was destroyed. Kind of reading between the lines, but it sounds like his friend was holding the art as collateral against Hunter's loan for legal expenses?
Im sure the fine art world is in deep mourning I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that insurance claim negotiation...
I have a few SIGs.

And in other news, President-Elect Trump has drafted an order reinstating Cuba onto the terror list. Expectation is for the President-Elect to sign the draft within 60 minutes after his inauguration - in FIVE DAYS!

This is the equivalent of Trump taking up the slack and prepping the trigger.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Any guesses Hunter has the same ethics as his father and will just say, "nah, keep my collateral, I don't have the $$"?
Insurance company, "well, we don't see that "art" line item on your policy and they were not appraised by one of our exclusive appraisers."
