Let’s Talk Immigration: Andrea Castaneda-Lauver

TPS recipients are business owners and teachers and health care workers and pastors and parents and mentors and… this is their home.

This week on Let’s Talk Immigration, field mobilizer Brenda Kirk sits down Andrea Castaneda-Lauver, Co-Youth/Associate Pastor at the Houston First Church of Nazarene and former Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipient from El Salvador. Together, they talk about what it was like for Andrea and her family to put down roots in the country with only temporary protection—and the looming uncertainty they face now that their status has been rescinded.
