Pero su derecho a permanecer y trabajar en este país depende de un amparo humanitario conocido como Estatus de Protección Temporal (o TPS por sus siglas en inglés), un programa que se ha convertido en un blanco de ataque del presidente Donald Trump.

Se espera que el Presidente electo use su poder ejecutivo para revertir muchas de las órdenes de Trump para limitar la inmigración, entre las cuales se incluyen intentos para terminar con el TPS y la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA por sus siglas en inglés). DACA beneficia a cientos de miles de jóvenes indocumentados conocidos como DREAMers o soñadores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden por su parte ha prometido lograr una reforma migratoria que provea a los más de 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en los Estados Unidos un camino a la ciudadanía, entre ellos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS.

Pero este otoño pasado, un panel de tres jueces de la corte de apelaciones del 9o circuito falló en favor de Trump y declaró que el Presidente sí podía terminar con estos programas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los demandantes de ese caso, un grupo de tepesianos y sus hijos estadounidenses, planean solicitar una segunda revisión del caso por la corte del 9o circuito. La fecha más temprana en que oficiales de inmigracion podrían anular los permisos de trabajos de personas provenientes de El Salvador es a principios de noviembre del 2021. Inmigrantes de otros países podrían perder su amparo tan pronto como el próximo marzo, dijo Ahilan Arulanantham, abogado de la Unión estadounidense por las libertades civiles, quien representa a los demandantes en este caso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por otro lado, las cortes se han pronunciado en favor de preservar a DACA para los casi 650 mil DREAMers que tienen este estatus. Sin embargo, el gobierno de Trump ya no acepta solicitudes para este amparo luego de que intentó anular este programa en 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A principios de este año, la Corte Suprema falló en contra el gobierno federal y decidió que este no siguió la ley cuando trató de terminar DACA. Desde entonces, la administración de Trump se rehusa aceptar nuevas aplicaciones, lo que va en contra de fallos de tribunales inferiores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El Instituto de política migratoria estima que más de 685 mil otros jóvenes son elegibles para aplicar para este programa, aparte de los recipientes actuales de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Historias Relacionadas' tag='kqed-en-espanol']Según cálculos de la organización bipartidista de investigación y abogacía \"New American Economy\", casi todos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS trabajan y pagan alrededor de $5.5 mil millones de dólares en impuestos cada año. Muchos trabajan en sectores considerados esenciales durante la pandemia, como el cuidado de salud, la educación, cuidado de personas mayores, la construcción y la producción y distribución de comida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En California, alrededor de 27 mil 700 tepesianos y 56 mil 900 recipientes de DACA laboran en posiciones de primera línea, o sea que conllevan más riesgo de ser contagiados, afirma el Centro para el progreso estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De manera similar a Jesús Perlera, Karla López también es una trabajadora esencial. DACA ha permitido que López, de 27 años y residente de San José, trabaje como asistente de enfermería y estudie en un programa de enfermería de una universidad comunitaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Junta directiva de enfermería de California requiere que todos los estudiantes de esa carrera posean un número de seguro social, algo que López no tenía hasta que aplicó a DACA en 2012, el año en que Obama creó el programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA me ayudó tanto al aplicar a todos los trabajos que he tenido\", dijo López, cuyo padre la trajo a Estados Unidos desde México cuando ella tenía tan solo 10 años. Ella ahora está criando a sus dos hijos. \"Me ha abierto muchas puertas\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López trabaja en un asilo y cuida a personas mayores. Ella dice que no ha parado de trabajar durante la pandemia, incluso cuando estaba embarazada. Ella corre el riesgo de contagiarse y llevar el virus a su casa, donde se encuentra su hijo de 4 años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Era algo muy espantoso\", dijo López, quien actualmente está bajo licencia de maternidad luego de dar a luz a su segundo hijo. \"¿Pero sabes qué?

Beneficiarios de DACA deben de aplicar de nuevo cada dos años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Como eran las cosas antes será una buena línea de partida\", dijo Dugan-Cuadra. \"Consideramos eso solamente como un plan de corto plazo, pero no aceptaremos algo que no sea una reforma legislativa para proveer un estatus permanente a los DREAMers y tepesianos\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Varias cortes federales han atrasado las acciones de Trump para acabar con el estatus de TPS para más de 400 mil personas provenientes de El Salvador, Haití, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua y Sudán. Pero este otoño pasado, un panel de tres jueces de la corte de apelaciones del 9o circuito falló en favor de Trump y declaró que el Presidente sí podía terminar con estos programas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los demandantes de ese caso, un grupo de tepesianos y sus hijos estadounidenses, planean solicitar una segunda revisión del caso por la corte del 9o circuito. La fecha más temprana en que oficiales de inmigracion podrían anular los permisos de trabajos de personas provenientes de El Salvador es a principios de noviembre del 2021. Inmigrantes de otros países podrían perder su amparo tan pronto como el próximo marzo, dijo Ahilan Arulanantham, abogado de la Unión estadounidense por las libertades civiles, quien representa a los demandantes en este caso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por otro lado, las cortes se han pronunciado en favor de preservar a DACA para los casi 650 mil DREAMers que tienen este estatus. Sin embargo, el gobierno de Trump ya no acepta solicitudes para este amparo luego de que intentó anular este programa en 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A principios de este año, la Corte Suprema falló en contra el gobierno federal y decidió que este no siguió la ley cuando trató de terminar DACA. Desde entonces, la administración de Trump se rehusa aceptar nuevas aplicaciones, lo que va en contra de fallos de tribunales inferiores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El Instituto de política migratoria estima que más de 685 mil otros jóvenes son elegibles para aplicar para este programa, aparte de los recipientes actuales de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Historias Relacionadas ","tag":"kqed-en-espanol"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Según cálculos de la organización bipartidista de investigación y abogacía \"New American Economy\", casi todos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS trabajan y pagan alrededor de $5.5 mil millones de dólares en impuestos cada año. Muchos trabajan en sectores considerados esenciales durante la pandemia, como el cuidado de salud, la educación, cuidado de personas mayores, la construcción y la producción y distribución de comida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En California, alrededor de 27 mil 700 tepesianos y 56 mil 900 recipientes de DACA laboran en posiciones de primera línea, o sea que conllevan más riesgo de ser contagiados, afirma el Centro para el progreso estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De manera similar a Jesús Perlera, Karla López también es una trabajadora esencial. DACA ha permitido que López, de 27 años y residente de San José, trabaje como asistente de enfermería y estudie en un programa de enfermería de una universidad comunitaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Junta directiva de enfermería de California requiere que todos los estudiantes de esa carrera posean un número de seguro social, algo que López no tenía hasta que aplicó a DACA en 2012, el año en que Obama creó el programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA me ayudó tanto al aplicar a todos los trabajos que he tenido\", dijo López, cuyo padre la trajo a Estados Unidos desde México cuando ella tenía tan solo 10 años. Ella ahora está criando a sus dos hijos. \"Me ha abierto muchas puertas\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López trabaja en un asilo y cuida a personas mayores. Ella dice que no ha parado de trabajar durante la pandemia, incluso cuando estaba embarazada. Ella corre el riesgo de contagiarse y llevar el virus a su casa, donde se encuentra su hijo de 4 años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Era algo muy espantoso\", dijo López, quien actualmente está bajo licencia de maternidad luego de dar a luz a su segundo hijo. \"¿Pero sabes qué? Es mi trabajo. Esta es la responsabilidad que yo escogí\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López dijo que el triunfo de Biden la hizo sentir como si perteneciera de nuevo dentro de los Estados Unidos, después de temer por su futuro durante los cuatro años del gobierno de Trump. Ella espera que los recipientes de DACA y todos los otros inmigrantes indocumentados se conviertan un día en ciudadanos de Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hemos vivido aquí por tanto tiempo\", dijo ella. \"Esto se ha hecho mi hogar, es donde he vivido casi toda mi vida\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849023\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11849023\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesús Perlera cierra la puerta del remolque de su camión el pasado 18 de noviembre del 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perlera, quien ha trabajado en los Estados Unidos desde los 18 años, quiere que las contribuciones de los inmigrantes sean reconocidas y que resulten en amparos más permanentes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Le agradezco a este país por darme estas oportunidades\", dice Perlera, quien de niño soñó convertirse en camionero. \"En mi país de El Salvador, no hay tantas oportunidades como aquí\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estos tres años pasados, Perlera enfrentó la posibilidad de la deportación y decidió que no iba a regresar con sus hijos a El Salvador, en donde la violencia de la pandilla y la pobreza siguen creciendo\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Quiero que mis hijos tengan una buena vida, no como la vida que a mí me tocó\", dijo él. \"Mi juventud era muy difícil\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perlera explicó que uno de sus siete hermanos todavía era pequeño cuando su padre murió, lo que forzó a ese hermano comenzar a trabajar en los campos de café, arroz, y otros cultivos a los 7 años.
