Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1 additional minute. I think also of the words of Claudia Herrington, who works at El Buen Samaritano, dealing largely with Latino families. She writes: ``This is not the American Dream I believe in. This is not the American Dream my father believed in when he emigrated from Cuba here in the 1960s. I know our country is better than that, regardless of political affiliation. And I know that investment in our people and their ability to earn a decent living is a worthwhile policy.'' We need a policy that is more safety net than hole, and I hope eventually we can work together to achieve that. I reserve the balance of my time.
