Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman. this may go down as the meanest and most misguided amendment of the evening. TPS has been known and worked as a proper legal statement by the U.S. government to give protection to people who are in situations where they cannot go back home. These people did not come into the country illegally. In fact. in many cases. our actions being involved in those countries invited them to come here. and this is why we offer that protection. The countries that would be affected are countries where we either have had a standing tradition of being involved in trying to resolve some difficulties in those countries and participated militarily and otherwise in those countries and. as a result. gave them this protection.
