(An additional three clients have not completed their forms. Of these applicants, forty-four, or 66 percent, were men. We have also counseled a number of Salvadorans who did not qualify for TPS. We continue to take new asylum cases as well.) The three tables here detail PAPA’s applicants by gender, age, place of birth, and last date of entry into the United States. The tables show some interesting patterns. Over 60 percent of the applicants were from El Salvador’s Eastern Departments: La Unión, Uzulután, San Miguel, and Morozán. Not surprisingly, this is the region most plagued by battles between the government forces and the guerrillas, and therefore the most likely site of military repression. This also suggests that Austin might be home to a network of families from Eastern El Salvador. Birthplaces of the rest of the applicants were evenly distributed throughout the region, with the exception of the capital department of El Salvador, which accounts for ten of the applicants. Applicants’ ages ranged between seventeen and seventy; most were between twenty-two and twenty-five years of age when they contacted PAPA. One interesting note is the high number of young men (approx. 15 percent) being assisted by PAPA. This could illustrate that large numbers of young males have fled El Salvador due to the constant military and guerrilla forced recruiting. Finally, most TPS applicants arrived in the U.S. their last time between 1988-1990 (Only those who arrived before September 19, 1990 were eligible for TPS). Maybe the fact that we tend to see newer arrivals also supports the theory that Austin is a “way station” for refugees. Because of our poor economy, and the fact that Texas leads the nation in job discrimination against Latinos, (according to a General Accounting Office study), our asylum clients tend to leave town after their merit hearings to find better opportunities. Another reasonable explanation is that Salvadorans are still gathering documents required to prove eligibility. For example, those who fled in the early 80s and who could not get documents to prove their Salvadoran citizenship might have to wait until receiving them. Fortunately, there are still three more months for Salvadorans to apply for TPS.
