What I saw was a nation struggling to rebuild after the 2010 tragedy
that hurt and rattled the nation with an earthquake, a cholera
epidemic, and Hurricane Matthew. What I heard was the nation was not
prepared for the tens of thousands of Haitians that were to return. Haitian TPS recipients contribute significantly to the United States'
economy and to the Haitian economy. As Haiti works not only to rebuild,
but to rise itself out of poverty that has plagued it for years, I ask
the White House to please take a moment to help our friends and allies
in Haiti and to extend the temporary protective status.
