“Today I take to the floor to ask Congress to act and pass legislation that will help millions of working families. We need to pass legislation that will raise the minimum wage and reinstates unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed. We need to pass legislation that will protect future property owners from abusive lenders. We need to pass legislation that will improve our education system to help our children go to college and ensure them a successful future. We need to pass legislation that will fix our broken immigration system, and will include a path towards citizenship. It is our duty to help our communities. I ask the Republicans to support these policies so that millions of people can have the opportunity to realize the American Dream. Senor Presidente de la Camara de Representantes, Hoy, tomo la palabra para pedir que el Congreso actue y pase la legislacion que ayudara a millones de familias trabajadoras. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que aumente el salario minimo y reinstale el seguro de desempleo para quienes han estado desempleados por largo tiempo. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que proteja a futuros propietarios de prestamistas abusivos. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que mejore nuestro sistema educativo-- que ayude a nuestros hijos a ir a la universidad y asegurarles un futuro exitoso. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que arregle nuestro sistema inmigratorio quebrado, y que incluya un camino a la ciudadania.…”
