And I'm curious if any of them are going to go back and, and like be a part of like rebuilding that industry in Venezuela as kind of expats, right?

Like us Venezuelan expats in Venezuela, but that's something that I'm super interested in.

Well, temporary protected status is one of those things that's like, it's temporary, but it's been used.

People have been on temporary protected status.

They've used temporary protected status to live and work in this country legally for, in some cases, decades.

But Haitians in particular were first granted temporary protected status after the 2010 earthquake.

Yeah, exactly.

It's kind of a handy tool for people who are facing really dire conditions to be able to be in the U.S.

and have kind of a life raft, right?

So they can, again, work legally, make money for their family, you know, provide for themselves and not be worried about being deported, right?

And yes, the idea is that once the country stabilizes, then people can go home.

I mean, the conditions in a lot of countries have not gotten better.

And in some cases, you could say things have gotten worse or about the same.

And so, you know, there have been legal challenges, right, to ending it.

You can point to conditions in Haiti as being like,

wait, it's OK to live in Haiti now when gangs run most of the country or many parts of the country.

There's also Trump administration is trying to end TPS for Venezuelans.

And an appeals court actually recently declared the revocation of TPS for Venezuelans to be illegal and that the federal government also overstepped in ending TPS for Haitians.

And there's like another court case that's happening.

Obviously, this is all going to get kicked up.
