Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution sets the House floor rules to immediately consider H.R. 1689 and brings that bill up for a final vote. It waives procedural objections, deems a specific amendment in the nature of a substitute adopted, and treats the bill as read. Debate is limited to one hour equally divided between party leaders, and one motion to recommit is allowed. The substitute requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status until three months after January 20, 2029.
This is a House rule governing floor consideration; it is adopted by a House majority and does not go to the President. The resolution waives points of order, limits debate to one hour, allows one motion to recommit, and exempts certain House rule clauses from applying.
This House resolution (H.
Res. 965) provides terms for immediate consideration of H.R. 1689, waiving points of order and limiting debate to one hour and one motion to recommit.
The resolution includes an amendment-in-the-nature-of-a-substitute that would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until a date three months after January 20, 2029.
Easy to advance in House under a closed rule, but substantive immigration change faces significant Senate hurdles and uncertain executive implementation dynamics.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a well-specified procedural rule that clearly and concretely governs House consideration of H.R. 1689, including waivers, debate limits, an adopted substitute, and a requirement to notify the Senate.

They will view the statutory TPS designation as a needed, time-bound federal response to crisis.
Generally supportive of humanitarian goals but cautious about precedent and process.
They will weigh the immediate protections against waiving procedural safeguards and mandating DHS actions by statute.
Likely opposed because the bill statutorily compels DHS to grant TPS, bypassing agency discretion.
Concerns will focus on immigration control, federal overreach, and incentives for irregular migration.
