José Urías, a Salvadoran immigrant, arrived in the United States with nothing and built a successful construction company in Boston. His company has constructed over 150 homes in the city, contributing significantly to the local housing market. However, Urías and his family’s future are now at risk due to the impending expiration of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The potential loss of TPS could force him to leave the country, jeopardizing his business and the livelihoods of his employees. Urías’ story highlights the complex impact of immigration policy on entrepreneurs and families. His case is representative of many TPS holders facing uncertainty as the program undergoes reevaluation. The expiration threatens not only his personal stability, but the economic contribution his company makes to Boston.
