Governor Polis Applauds Biden Administration Action on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) & Work Permits for Venezuelan Migrants, Governor Previously Called for TPS Status
Press Release
Issues: Immigration
"I am thrilled the Biden administration and Secretary Mayorkas are granting temporary protected status for Venezuelan migrants fleeing violence and oppression in search of a better life in America and who can now help contribute to our economy and fill much-needed jobs. Our new arrivals are ready to work and pay their own way, and now they will be able to. Providing temporary protected status and securing the border requires problem-solving and collaboration between cities, states, and the federal government, not simply politics as usual. Colorado welcomes this action as immigrants and refugees enrich our communities, strengthen our economy, and help ensure we have a Colorado for All."
