1.3 million TPS refugees in the US
There are 1.3 million refugees in the US currently, under Temporary Protected Status. The average length of stay of a typical TPS recipient is TWENTY YEARS. Since they’ve arrived, they’ve had 390,000 children, who all automatically gain US citizenship at birth, thanks to a convoluted interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
Green cards are another story entirely. Over 1 million are issued every year, and the recipients can stay here indefinitely, and are able to bring their spouses and children. 34 million green cards have been issued since 1990.
