《美国移民和国籍法》第 244 条为居住在美国的指定国家/地区的国民因武装冲突、自然灾害或其他临时破坏性情况而无法返回本国的国民提供临时合法居留权。在大多数情况下，临时保护状态 (TPS) 是暂时的，持续时间不超过 2 年。在其他情况下，特别是利比里亚，TPS 状态持续了近 20 年。本文将探讨利比里亚人在美国长期获得 TPS 身份的后果，并将该问题置于新兴的全球化公民理论框架内。
Section 244 of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act provides temporary legal residency to nationals of designated countries residing in the United States who cannot return to their home country due to armed conflict, natural disaster, or other temporary devastating conditions. In most cases Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is temporary, lasting no more than 2 years. In other cases, particularly for Liberia, TPS status has lasted almost 20 years. This article will examine the consequences of protracted TPS status for Liberians in the United States, as well as place the issue within emerging theoretical frameworks of globalizing citizenship.
