On the recordSeptember 25, 2017
September 5, 2017: that is a day that will forever be ingrained in the minds of immigrants and DREAMers as the day that Donald Trump crossed a moral line. The President is playing hot potato with a group of young people who, like me, came to this country ``with heart,'' ``con corazon;'' ``with humility,'' ``con humildad;'' and ``with a desire to do more,'' ``con el deseo de hacer mas.'' DREAMers are ``fighters,'' ``luchadores.'' They are fighters, and so we will not rest until the Dream Act is the law of the land and until DREAMers and their parents can go to sleep without the fear of ICE knocking on their door and showing up in their place of worship, school, or at a hospital. To my colleagues, we urge you to stand with us, stand with 800,000 DACA recipients, and stand with their parents in passing the Dream Act. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
