The US Department of Homeland Security has decided to extend by 18 months the stay of 312,000 Hondurans, Nicaraguans, and Salvadorans who have been living in the United States as temporary residents, saying it would be inhumane to return them because of the difficult conditions in their countries. extension has brought little relief, however, to some of the affected immigrants who have built lives in this country and are seeking to stay in the United States permanently and invite their relatives to join them. It has also frustrated some immigration policy specialists who are hoping Congress reaches a more permanent solution. The Hondurans and Nicaraguans had been subject to possible deportation on July 5 and Salvadorans on Sept. 9, and their future remains unclear. The government has not said whether it will grant another reprieve. The extension affects 78,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans, who gained temporary permission to stay in the United States after Hurricane Mitch devastated the two countries in 1998, as well as 230,000 Salvadorans who were granted the status after earthquakes in 2001. "It's good news temporarily; it allows us to work for 18 months," said Carlos Chacôn, 41, a community organizer who immigrated to Chelsea from El Salvador eight years ago and wants to stay permanently. "But that doesn't solve the problem over the long term, because we're still separated from our families. We continue with this uncertainty."
