I would almost like to say it is a bill made near purgatory on
the way to you know where. This is a disgusting attack on hardworking
Americans. I want to also put in the Record my concern about extending the
temporary protected status for Haitians as well as El Salvadorans and a
number of other countries that are facing the 6-month deadline that
seems to be what has come out of the administration. All of these countries have devastation, and all of these countries
are deserving, if you will, of an extension for the people who are here
because they are, in fact, suffering still. Haiti is suffering still
from the earthquake. El Salvador is suffering. I want to mention one of my constituents, Jose, and his wife, who
were deported during the horror and the hysteria of the announcement
from the administration of: I am going to be hard on deportation. A hardworking family man, a manager of a paint store, was deported
out of this country back to El Salvador where there is no work, there
is no opportunity, and they are still suffering from the devastation of
years past. This is what we are in the midst of. Let me, finally, express, as I indicated, my concerns about extending
the temporary protected status certainly for Haitians and others. We
are working on that as we speak. Then let me come back to Hurricane Harvey.
