Darren Soto (D-FL) and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL).[2] It aims to extend temporary protected status to Venezuelan nationals in light of the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis and the crisis in Venezuela in general. The bill was introduced to the House as H.R. 549 on January 15, 2019.[1] IntroductionAnnouncing the bill, Washington D.C. said it was a bill introduced because of "egregious human rights abuses" and "an economic, humanitarian, and security crisis" in Venezuela. D.C. said that this has caused many Venezuelans to become refugees in foreign countries, and that whilst corruption remains in Venezuela these people should be protected.[2] Soto and Diaz-Balart each gave statements, both alluding to suffering under Nicolás Maduro's presidency, described by Soto as "tyrannical". Soto said that "TPS [is] a way to help protect our brothers and sisters escaping Maduro’s terror"; Diaz-Balart said that "[w]e must not force Venezuelans who have sought safety in the United States to return to such dangerous conditions".[2] A similar bill had been introduced to the Senate of the 115th Congress as S. 3759 in December 2018, which invoked Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This bill also aimed to strengthen migration routes in South America to help people immediately trying to exit Venezuela to a neighboring country.[3] United States President Donald Trump did not support this bill, and had been trying to end TPS for months at the time.[4] Despite this, Soto, speaking in January 2019, said he believed that the developing conditions in Venezuela had reached a point that Trump may be likely to support his new bill, saying that "[i]f there is a country that might get TPS approved by the White House, it would be Venezuela". He also suggested Trump may favor the bill because it would be a further sanction against the Maduro administration. Diaz-Balart said that the bill is "in lockstep with [the White House's] "aggressive" stance against the government of [Maduro]".[4] Proposed protection levelUnder the bill, the protection status of Venezuelans in the United States would be quite high. They would not face deportation, be granted work authorization, as well as be able to travel abroad without the threat of not being allowed to return.[2] The bill would automatically apply to all Venezuelans who have been continuously present in the United States at the time of enactment of the law, and would have an 18-month period for others to apply starting on the day it was signed into law.[4] [1] See also
