Mr. President, I thank the Senator for yielding. On the 5th, as I understand it, the DACA Program will no longer apply. Those who have already registered, that registration will continue until it runs out. There are some now--I think the figure is some 150 a day--who are losing status, and there is a question about whether they can renew. Courts have been trying to weigh in on that, and the administration has asked the courts to finalize--asked the High Court to. The problem is, even if it is not deportation on March 5, there are real questions. They can't get work permits. They will not be able to register for school, in certain circumstances, so they are left in limbo, and that is not fair to them. I thank the Senator for working on a solution, and I thank him for yielding time.
