Political Quotes

“The situation that so many DREAMers--aspired Americans who know no other country--face is becoming more and more urgent in the face of President Trump's cancellation of their legal status in March. I want to point out that over 100 are losing status every day and losing their permission to be able to go to work--their legal status-- in our country. If we fail to act, one million aspired Americans will be unable to work legally and live legally in the only country they know, instantly creating over one million more people who are here illegally--the opposite of what President Trump ran on and the opposite of what the American people want. I know that we can pass a solution through this body. I have heard so many Republicans and Democrats talk passionately about providing permanent status for the DREAMers. Let's pass the Dream Act, any of these bills. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to cosponsor a new one yesterday that will finally provide some certainty for young people who want to do nothing more than work hard, play by the rules, and contribute to make our country, the only country they know, the United States of America, even greater. ____________________”
