On the recordDecember 20, 2017
I first thank our distinguished leader from Illinois, not only for his eloquence and passion but his unfettered commitment to the young people who were brought here as children, who maybe had never set foot in the country their parents came from and may not know the language. They are here, and a promise was made to them in our country. I spoke yesterday on the floor about two young people from Michigan. We have 10,000 young people in Michigan--some serving in the military, some in jobs, some in school--who don't know any other country. They love our country, and they just want our country to keep its promise to them. That is what I view it as, keeping our promises. So I thank the Senator. ____________________
