    Pending: Living With Uncertainty

    Humans like to know what’s coming next. How to plan for the future. And what the consequences of our actions might be. But the modern world is only becoming less certain — war abroad and political conflict at home, technological breakthroughs once only seen in science fiction, a volatile economy and labor market with the careers of billions at risk. And of course, the climate crisis, which rages on in the background, and now in the foreground of our lives? What exactly is uncertainty? And is it always a bad thing?

    Immigration: The Future For Foreigners With Temporary Protected Status

    At the end of June, the Supreme Court ruled six to three that the federal government can end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for more than 300,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians currently residing legally in the United States. TPS is a program that allows people from designated countries currently experiencing crises, like natural disasters or civil war, to live and work in the U.S. Some Haitian TPS recipients have been in the U.S. for 16 years. They work in hospitals, warehouses, and factories nationwide. In Springfield, Ohio, they make up nearly a fifth of the city’s population. But their time in America could come to an end as soon as late July. What does the future hold for TPS holders and their families? And what does it mean for the communities and jobs they leave behind? Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.
