Congresswoman Yvette Clarke is not just from New York, but,
in particular, Brooklyn. She knows how that is very dear to me having
been a child of Brooklyn myself. Congresswoman Clarke's work and all the efforts she has made in being
one of the co-chairs of the Caribbean Caucus, being the member at large
of the Congressional Black Caucus, the work that the gentlewoman is
doing, and she has really forged a partnership with the chair of the
Congressional Black Caucus as well as Mia Love to make sure that the
issue regarding Haiti, regarding the Haitians, and the temporary
protected status are here. It is because of the gentlewoman's work that
we are now having the Special Order hour and are continuing to push the
pressure. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman to discuss with us, with the
American people, with this Congress, and with the Speaker how we should
be moving forward with the issues regarding the people of Haiti and how
extending the temporary protected status is not only good for the
Haitian economy, it is good for America as well. I thank the gentlewoman for leading us in this effort.
