We need about 60 more Senator Schmitt’s.

Temporary means Temporary.
And what’s happening doesn’t look very temporary. https://t.co/SONE8TfTa5 pic.twitter.com/qPh3eLv5fi
America is not a global refugee camp. America is not a get rich scheme for the 3rd world. America is our home. And when houseguests become squatters, you don't delay enforcement you call the sheriff and you send them home. That's exactly what we must do here today. If Democrats want 350,000 Haitians to stay permanently, they should say it plainly. Introduce a bill. Put your name on it. Vote for the permanent status then explain that vote to the American people. Quit with the games. But stop calling permanent immigration "temporary." The voters are not stupid, and they already made their choice. The voters demanded enforcement. President Trump is delivering on that. But Democrats are fighting to keep the same old scam alive. Mr. President, I have the power to stop this nonsense bill and I'm going to use it. That's why I'm here today. So I object to the bill which would keep 350,000 Haitians here permanently. I object to changing temporary to permanent. I object to flooding American communities with cheap foreign labor. I object to treating foreigners as the priority and Americans as the afterthought. I object to mass migration. Temporary must mean temporary. And elections have consequences; therefore, Mr President, I object. --Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO).
