 It appears that Kamala Harris, the former Attorney General of California and current Vice President of the United States, was previously tasked with overseeing border security as the Border Czar. During her tenure in this role, she extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to over 100,000 Haitian migrants.

In a video message, Harris emphasized the importance of providing support and protection to these individuals who have been granted TPS. This temporary status allows certain nationals from countries experiencing civil unrest, natural disasters, or other extraordinary circumstances to remain in the United States without fear of deportation.

It is essential for the US government to offer assistance to those who have been displaced due to crises beyond their control. As Harris highlighted, these individuals require both emotional and practical support to rebuild their lives.
