I'm live on the Senate Floor to urge passage of my Haiti TPS bill. We must protect Haiti TPS.

Published | Video Starts at 11:10

And now the Senate must pass the bill, which I introduced alongside Senator Blunt Rochester, to designate Haiti for TPS until after the next presidential election. I have called on every recent administration to designate, extend and recognize, redesignate TPS for Haiti. I have also supported legislation to provide legal pathway to residency for TPS holders. I will keep supporting this community. The narrative of TPS holders in the United States is a story of resilience, of hope, and of an enduring spirit. (11:10–11:16)
