I thank the Congressman for sharing his dad's life story and what this country meant to him and the importance of coming up with a solution, a fix, as soon as possible.

I thank the gentleman for being a champion on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Soto).

I thank Congressman Soto for his wonderful words. He also brought up a few important things that I think we need to remember. The first is this issue of DREAMers, or undocumented immigrants, is often in the American debate reduced to the…
