On Wednesday, six House Republicans voted with the Democrats to extend ‘Temporary Protected Status’ for thousands of Haitians living in the US for three years.
The vote to advance the measure was 219-209.
The measure was introduced by radical Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
“Extending TPS for Haiti is not only the moral and humanitarian thing to do—it’s also good policy. It’s good for families, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for America,” Pressley said ahead of the vote. “Today the People’s House has an opportunity to pass our legislation to extend Haiti TPS and save lives. And we must do just that.”
The measure is likely dead on arrival in the Senate.
The President has vowed to veto the measure.
