The people of Haiti are not allowed the President of their choice. and. as I said before. any open displays of support for Aristide are met with military violence. Madam Speaker. I support temporary protected status for Haitian refugees in this country. We passed a bill here in the House. We should have that same bill passed by the Senate. We really do not need a bill. The President. the administration. has the authority under the present immigration laws to accept the Haitians into this country under temporary status. They can temporarily take them in for a period of 6 months without having to do anything else. no interviews. nothing of any consequence has to happen for 6 months. They do not all have to be taken to Florida or Guantanamo.
