"This morning, I went to the Senate floor to call on Senate Republicans to support the bipartisan, House-passed legislation that would designate Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) & protect approximately 200,000 Venezuelan nationals in the U.S. from deportation."

".@SenatorMenendez and I have repeatedly asked Senate Republicans to pass this bill. They block it every time.

Of course, President Trump could also grant Venezuelans TPS with the stroke of his pen, but as expected, he refuses to do so."

"If Senate Republicans genuinely cared about the people of Venezuela, they'd ask the President to grant TPS immediately. But they refuse to stand up to the President & are instead trying to use this sad situation as an excuse to gut the entire TPS program-we won't let that happen."
