He, along with\u200b Florida Senator Rick Scott, expressed \u200bconcerns over\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tiktok-data-trackers-installed-on-state-government-websites-review-finds\/\" title=\"TikTok data trackers installed on state government websites, review finds\">potential security risks posed<\/a> by unvetted foreign nationals\u2063 entering the US. \u200cRubio also criticized efforts to push the Dominican Republic to accept a \u200dlarge influx of Haitian migrants, highlighting\u2063 the strain it would place on the country.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Florida Senator Marco Rubio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearworld.com\/articles\/2024\/04\/18\/president_biden_must_not_encourage_illegal_mass_migration_from_haiti_1025892.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned President Biden<\/a> not to accept <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-blue-state-claw-back\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Blue State Claw Back\">mass migration<\/a> from Haiti, saying, \u201cthe job of elected officials is to protect <em>their<\/em> citizens first, not anyone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rubio is intent on helping the Haitian people. After the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Congress passed the Haitian Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act to help rebuild Haiti\u2019s domestic industry, but it expires in 2025. Last year, Rubio reintroduced the Act, saying, \u201cIt is in our national interest to help Haiti as it faces unimaginable hardships as a result of political corruption, natural disasters, and rampant crime. The HELP Act is an important bipartisan measure that will extend trade benefits and boost the country\u2019s largest industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In mid-March, Rubio and fellow Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/rubio-scott-to-biden-help-floridians-prepare-for-a-mass-migration-from-haiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> President Biden, \u201cFloridians and the rest of the American public will not tolerate your administration again opening the floodgates for countless, unvetted foreign nationals to stream into our country, putting our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-got-it-newsmax-reporter-emerald-robinson-national-security-source-confirms-a-piece-of-hardware-has-been-secured-in-germany\/\" title=\"We Got It! - Newsmax Reporter Emerald Robinson: National Security Source Confirms \"A Piece of Hardware Has Been Secured\" in Germany\">national security<\/a> at grave risk and creating untold public safety threats for our communities. We must consider this danger due to the numerous reports of gangs committing jailbreaks in Haiti and releasing thousands of dangerous criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his column discussing Haitian mass migration, Rubio noted that the Biden administration is pushing the Dominican Republic to accept three million Haitians fleeing their ravaged country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is unfair to the D.R., which is a developing nation with limited resources, and which is already bearing significant burdens on Haiti\u2019s behalf,\u201d Rubio wrote. \u201cAnyone who doubts this should consider the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.com.do\/nacionales\/legisladores-responden-amnistia-35-partos-en-rd-es-a-haitianas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than a third<\/a> of all births in the D.R. are currently to Haitian citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then he addressed the possibility of mass migration from Haiti to the U.S.: \u201cBut encouraging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pushes-border-security-election-integrity-economy-at-fla-rally\/\" title=\"President Trump pushes border security, election integrity, economy at Fla. rally\">illegal mass migration<\/a> is also unfair to our country. The Biden Administration seems unaware that many Haitians view the D.R. as a stepping stone to Puerto Rico\u2014and that a well-established smuggling ring to facilitate that journey already exists. Because our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico have their own fiscal constraints, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">illegal migrants<\/a> that reach the U.S. territory would likely move on to the continental United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cLike most Americans, I recognize that what is happening in Haiti is horrible and tragic,\u201d Rubio continued. \u201cThe breakdown of law and order, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/dominican-republic-ramps-up-border-security-haiti-crisis-shows-new-border-wall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">displacement<\/a> of more than 300,000 people, and the need of roughly five million for some form of aid\u2014all of these are matters of grave concern. This is why I support the international peacekeeping mission that Kenya proposes to lead once Haiti has established a provisional government. In addition, I have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/rubio-leads-bipartisan-measure-to-extend-economic-support-for-haiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reintroduced<\/a> legislation to preserve U.S. trade benefits for Haitian manufacturers, which could prove a lifeline to legitimate Haitian businesses in this time of crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut, like most Americans, I also recognize that no country should experience illegal mass migration\u2014not the D.R., and not the United States. Illegal mass migration does no good for the nation people are migrating from,\u201d he stated. \u201cWhen all able-bodied, law-abiding citizens leave their homeland, there is no one left to defend it from criminals and tyrants\u2014and no one left to provide for the vulnerable who remain there. On a more fundamental level, though, I cannot support illegal mass migration because the job of elected officials is to protect <em>their<\/em> citizens first, not anyone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Rubio cautioned President Biden against permitting large-scale migration from Haiti, emphasizing the duty of elected officials to safeguard their own citizens first.
