Jeff Fortenberry supports the Trump Administration’s decision to cancel provisional residency permits for 200,000 Salvadorans here in the U.S. The Salvadorans are here under both a law passed during the Bush41 Administration and a decision by the Bush43 Administration in 2001. This decision by the Trump Administration will force Salvadorans who have established a life in the U.S. to return to a violence plagued country with a moribund economy. Many of these people have never even lived in El Salvador. I strongly disagree with this decision by the Administration and Mr. Fortenberry. As a country, we need to live up to the ideal inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
