US business owners are confused about Venezuelan employees with temporary status
Businesses face uncertainty after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans. The Miami-area city of Doral is home to the largest Venezuelan community in the United States. It’s coming to grips with Monday’s court decision. Some attorneys advise a case-by-case approach and urge employers and Venezuelans alike to explore alternatives to continue working legally. Venezuelan beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status work in the hospitality, construction, agriculture, health care, retail, and restaurant sectors. A restaurant owner in Doral says he is stressed after the ruling. Wilmer Escaray says at least 70% of his 150 employees are Venezuelan immigrants with Temporary Protected Status.
