I am particularly pleased. Mr. Speaker. that this legislation Includes a provision that clarfies that aliens who have no nationality are eligible for Temporary Protected Status If they have habitually resided In a country that the Attorney General has designated for TPS. This provision Is necessary to protect. for example. stateless Palestinians who have habitually resided In Kuwait or Lebanon. The Attomey General has recently designated these countries for TPS. but until now TPS protections have been denied to Palestinians who have lived much of their lives In those countdes. Under H.R. 3670. these persons would be eligible for TPS. even If they hold a travel documentsuch as a laissez passer or a Jordanian passport from another country.
