Markwayne Mullin: “We'll actually give you a plane ticket plus roughly $2,100…”

“If I'm talking directly to the individual with the temporary protective status, either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status or will help you get back to your country. We'll actually give you a plane ticket plus roughly $2,100 to help you re-establish when you get there [if you choose to go back]. But temporary protective status, according to the courts and in its name itself is not permanent status. So if the 350,000 temporary protective status holders right now start applying for permanent status, start applying for visas, will they not be deported?” (01:53–02:00)
