Congressmen push for temporary protective status for Venezuelans

The World

A bipartisan initiative has been launched in both houses of Congress to grant Temporary Protective Status, TPS, to Venezuelans. That would allow Venezuelans fleeing the chaos there  to find shelter in the US without applying individually for asylum or refuge. At the same time, the Trump administration has been pushing to end TPS for people from El Salvador, Haiti, Liberia and elsewhere. Host Marco Werman speaks with Florida Democrat Rep. Darren Soto.
