Apparently, they are not
aware of the scarcity of food in Haiti and the cholera epidemic. All of
these challenges are continuing since 2011. Along with the Haitians, I understand that they have now taken away
TPS from 300,000 Hondurans, Nicaraguans, and Salvadorans as well. This
is an outrageous act, and it is important for them to act immediately. I also stand against the scam tax plan. The scam tax plan would, in
fact, take away opportunities for Americans to have higher education,
build the deficit way beyond one's recognition, would not create jobs,
would send jobs overseas, would allow for 80 percent of the benefits to
go to the top 1 percent, and, frankly, would provide no benefits for
middle class, hardworking Americans. This plan is not tax cuts and jobs; it is a tax scam with no jobs. I ask my colleagues to vote against this tax bill, and I ask this
administration to do what is right and provide humanitarian relief and
extend the TPS for Haitians and all others similarly situated for 18
months.
