Trump administration to send 57,000 Hondurans in the US home

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration has decided to end a temporary program that allows 57,000 Hondurans to live and work in the United States, three people familiar with the plans told McClatchy.

Hondurans who came to the United States after Hurricane Mitch devastated their country in 1998 will be given 12 to 18 months to return to their native county or seek another form of legal residency.

The Department of Homeland Security will announce the program's end as early as Friday afternoon. Officials there are expected to say conditions in Honduras have improved enough for people to return, though some have lived in the United States for two decades.

One of the poorest and most violent countries in the region, Honduras has been plagued by gang violence and drug trafficking, which has forced tens of thousands to flee to the United States annually.

People have been here 20 years, they have families and American born children now and they know no other country. Trump will be sending to one of the most dangerous countries on this continent.

He talking about immigrants from Honduras right now in his speech at the NRA. He hates them. He wants to hurt them, make the pay for seeking asylum.
