Congressman Mike Lawler on Thursday came out against Haiti's inclusion on President Trump's travel ban. The move prevents the entry of foreigners from 12 countries who are seeking to come to the U.S.

U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler, a fellow Republican, urged the Trump administration to reverse its decision. Lawler's 17th District includes Spring Valley, home to the second-largest Haitian diaspora, per capita, in the U.S.

The Trump administration announced in a proclamation on Wednesday that it will ban nationals from Haiti from entering the United States and partially limit Cubans and Venezuelans from coming into the country.
