Mr. President, this morning we received news that the Supreme Court has ruled in regard to our Dreamers, our Deferred Action Childhood Arrival children, who came to America knowing no other country, and now the Court has said that President Obama did have the authority to establish the DACA Program and that President Trump does not have a basis in law for ending it. Hundreds of thousands of Dreamers now have full legal authority to continue their lives in America--the country they know and love--and pursue their dreams, and we must celebrate that today.
