Rick Scott: Haitians Can't Stay Under TPS, But Need Fix So We Can Vet, Let Some Stay

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said in an ABC News interview on Monday that Temporary Protected Status for Haitians cannot continue in its current form but that a legislative fix is needed to allow for vetting and selective admission. Scott stated he has supported Haitian immigration to Florida and described many Haitians in his state as "wonderful." He did not elaborate on specific details of a proposed vetting framework or how many individuals would be permitted to remain under a revised process.
