Rep. Rich McCormick is facing intense backlash from conservative voters after siding with Democrats on a controversial immigration measure involving Haiti. The Georgia Republican’s vote has ignited outrage across social media, with critics accusing him of undermining core America First principles tied to border enforcement and immigration control.
At the center of the controversy is Temporary Protected Status, commonly known as TPS.
