TPS For Haitians

John Kelly told the Miami Herald:

"TPS is not supposed to continue to be enforced until Haiti's like Jamaica, or any country with a very functioning democracy [or] a relatively low unemployment rate. That's not the point of it...

"TPS should not have to remain in place until Haiti is a completely functioning economy with no problems."
