Revocation of TPS is going to absolutely devastate the human services & construction workforce:

YUP. Yup yup yup. Not just human services in places like Massachusetts, but other industries as well. In DC a HUGE portion of the construction workforce is Salvadorans with TPS, and they've had it for 24 years so it's senior machine operators and managers — people who are HARD to replace.
