I tell you what.
There is getting to be a regular gang of thieves stealing the immigration progress in the House, and it's not just the vile Maria Salazar and repulsive Mike Lawler.
Look at this roll call of imfamy.
BREAKING: The House just voted 224 to 204 to PASS a 3 year extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S.
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) April 16, 2026
10 House Republicans + 1 independent voted w/ Dems to pass it.
Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
Rep. Brian…
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL)
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
Rep. Mario Diaz Balart (R-FL)
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA)
Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH)
Every last one of them should be driven out of the party like their last name was Murkowski.
I mean, I've already gone off on Salazar this week, and I have no doubt it won't be the last time she'll backstab everything Trump is trying to do, and the immigration enforcement guys are risking their lives in the streets to accomplish it, but come on. Lawler's already a worthless accomplice of Salazar's in every one of her amnesty plots, but Malliotakis?
Man, I knew she was a Mid-Atlantic squish type, but never did I think she was this bad.
Listen to this tripe she put out as an excuse for her vote. It's sickening.
WE NEED HEALTHCARE ASSISTANTS
NEW: Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) tells @FoxNews why she voted yes on Haitian TPS extension:
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) April 16, 2026
“Look, I have a lot of health care workers in my district that are of Haitian descent, that are on TPS and my nursing homes. My health care facilities have said that they're going to…
...My health care facilities have said that they're going to lose skilled staff at a time when there is a shortage. And so it's the right thing to do for my district, for the health care facilities Irepresent. And plus, you're going to send these individuals back to a country where it's still in peril. it doesn't make any sense. I think that there needs to be a thoughtful approach. And if these individuals are here paying taxes, working, contributing to our economy for filling a health care need, then their status should be extended.”
BARF!
You can't distinguish her drooling jibberish from J.B. Pritzker's.
I'm curious how much money this suddenly ardent defender of the immigrant bedpan emptying career industry got from the folks who own those homes?
And that's a problem. So are the Haitians.
65% of Haitian non-citizen households are on welfare.

They are draining our resources, making America weaker and poorer.
It is absolutely idiotic to give them backdoor amnesty by extending TPS. pic.twitter.com/IaDYpt6I3u
We elected Donald Trump and gave him as Republican a Congress as we possibly could to square this away.
WE'VE KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS AND NOTHING IS DONE
We have known this for years,yet nothing is done.

Again, here was a chance to move a whole block out in one fell swoop, and Republicans torpedoed the will of the voters.
Lemme put that in quotes: 'REPUBLICANS.'
*spits*
It's probably too much to hope that Trump goes ballistic on their asses,
I am over these losers.
Even making the required allowance for regional differences, I am OVER them.
