The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden recently announced it is extending temporary protection from deportation1 to migrants from six countries.

美国总统乔·拜登的政府最近宣布,其将会延长来自六个国家的移民临时身份保护期限,使其不被驱逐出境。

Nationals of Sudan, Ukraine, El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua can remain in the United States under the extended policy.

根据延长政策,苏丹、乌克兰、萨尔瓦多、洪都拉斯、尼泊尔和尼加拉瓜的国民可以留在美国。

The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program permits migrants, whose home countries are considered unsafe, to live and work in the United States.

临时保护身份计划允许那些祖国被认为不安全的移民在美国生活和工作。

They can do so under the program although they do not have normal legal permission to be in the country.

丹尼尔·科斯塔是总部设在华盛顿特区的经济政策研究所的移民法和政策研究主任。

Costa said current TPS holders2 have high employment rates and add billions of dollars to the U.S. economy every year.

科斯塔说,目前持有临时保护身份的人就业率很高,每年为美国经济增加数十亿美元。

"TPS raises wages through…work authorization3 for people who don't have it…Higher wages also mean more spending back in the economy, which creates more jobs," he said.

他说:“临时身份保护计划通过给没有临时保护身份的人提供工作来提高工资……更高的工资也意味着更多的支出回流到经济中,从而创造更多的就业机会。”

The United States first gave Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador Temporary Protected Status more than 20 years ago.

20多年前,美国首次给予洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜和萨尔瓦多临时保护身份。

When the Biden administration extended TPS for those countries in June, it was for people who were current TPS holders.

今年6月,拜登政府对这些国家延长了临时身份保护计划的期限,对象是目前持有临时保护身份的人。

If the Biden administration again gives those countries temporary protected status, it would expand TPS for many people.

It would permit any qualifying migrant who entered the U.S. during the last 20 years to receive TPS.

它将会允许任何在过去20年内进入美国的合格移民获得临时保护身份。

A report by the Niskanen Center, a Washington-based policy research organization, said the "vast majority" of TPS holders are employed.

总部位于华盛顿的政策研究机构尼斯卡宁中心的一份报告称,“绝大多数”临时保护身份持有者都有工作。

"More than 94 percent of TPS holders were in the labor4 force as of 2017," the report stated.

该报告称:“截至2017年,超过94%的临时保护身份持有者是劳动力。”

It said that they worked in industries including sales and health care.

The 2017 report warned that ending TPS for just El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti would cause the U.S. economy to lose over $160 billion over 10 years.

她写道,虐待行为“包括奴役黑人的做法”和保持种族隔离制度。

Apartheid is a political system of racial separation.

种族隔离制指的是种族隔离的政治制度。

In January, Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown and Republican Representative Mike Carey sent a letter to Biden and other government officials to support TPS for Mauritanians living in the U.S. without legal permission.

今年1月,民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗和共和党众议员迈克·凯里致函拜登和其他政府官员,支持为未获得法律许可而居住在美国的毛里塔尼亚人提供临时保护身份。
