The Dreamers can stay. That's done. Permanent residency, citizenship, they're not going anywhere.

The Public Record
Luis Gutiérrez is a former U.S. Representative from Illinois, serving from 1993 to 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he was known for his advocacy on immigration reform and social justice issues. Gutiérrez played a significant role in the fight for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and was a vocal critic of policies that he viewed as detrimental to immigrant communities. Throughout his tenure, he served on various committees, including the House Committee on Financial Services.
He said, you know, the president promised the wall, 50 feet high from sea to shining sea. That's not going to happen.
I ask this because I don't want to hear in a few days or in a few weeks that your answers, Mr. Attorney General, have changed based on newly uncovered evidence that what you told us before was in fact false, misleading, or something other…
I think I have a solution that could allow the committee to move on to other important national matters like gun control and immigration.
Do you think candidates should fulfill the promises they make during campaigns?
So the brilliant campaign, remarkable campaign, big smile on your face, you love the campaign, but you're not going to fulfill his campaign promises?
My solution would save the American taxpayers a lot of grief and a lot of money by eliminating the need for the investigation.
Are you going to keep the campaign promise, yes or no? It's a promise that your boss, he hired you to fulfill.
He said, quote, during the second debate, 'If I win, I'm going to instruct my Attorney General...to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation'--referring to Hillary Clinton--'because there's never been so many lies, so much…
I am not going to support the Congress of the United States giving additional powers to the control board because I think they are out of control, and I think they are not accountable to anybody, and they are not transparent.
I have always opposed PROMESA, and now I oppose using the hurricane as an excuse to give the control board even more additional powers.
Part of my mission, is to make sure that profiteers, pirates, and private interests do not try to get rich off the misery of the people of Puerto Rico.
First of all, I believe the hurricanes have created a tragedy of epic proportions for Puerto Rico.
Their research is always questionable because they torture the data to make it arrive at the conclusion they desire, which is that immigrants are criminals and a burden on the U.S. and our economy.
We could resolve this problem because I happen to know for a fact that there are over 60 members of the Republican caucus who, today, would vote for a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
Shame on us for not resolving this problem and leaving a legacy of abuse against those 5 million.
We have a President of the United States that said, and I can bring the YouTube video, that Mexicans are murderers, rapists, and drug dealers.
The resources do not exist of the Federal Government to pick up, jail, and deport 11 million people.
It is looking for a demonization of a community of people to score political points and not to resolve it.
We are having a hearing about a Donald Trump talking point that one he goes to again and again.
We shouldn't ban them all. Just like we wouldn't ban all the Skittles because there might be one bad Skittle.
We will take on the NRA as Hillary as presidency of the United States.
In her heart, Hillary Clinton's dream for America is one where immigrants are allowed to come out of the shadows, get right with the law, pay their taxes and not feel fear that their families are going to be ripped apart.
