We call it a dream, but it's a reality. It's young people who are here, who want to continue to be part of the American Dream. It's people, as Mr. Engel said, who know no other country. This is the country they know. This is the country they love. This is the country they're in. This is the country they want to help grow. We talk so much about the future of our country. The future of our country is in our youth, our youth who want this dream to become a reality. Vote for the DREAM Act. It is the proper American behavior at this time.
