Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong opposition to this bill. If MAGA Republicans want a real, bipartisan solution for our broken immigration system, they should sign up and support my American Dream and Promise Act. Today, our country is home to millions of Dreamers. These are people who were brought to the United States as children and grew up here. In their heart, in their mind, and in their soul they are Americans except on paper. This is their country. This is their home. If Congress does nothing, we will lose our neighbors, our family members, and friends. We will lose fellow Americans. With the American Dream and Promise Act, House Democrats have a plan--with bipartisan support--to finally create a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and immigrant families. Make no mistake, this is not a partisan issue. Over 70 percent of Americans favor a law providing permanent legal status to Dreamers. This is a real solution. The American Dream and Promise Act will have a life-changing effect on every single district in this country. Take it from me, I was born and raised in south Texas. I recognize the importance of securing our border to protect the integrity of our Nation. Extreme MAGA Republicans have introduced a pitiful excuse to spread anti-immigrant rhetoric. Their bill fails to protect this country. It will not make us safer. Their bill weaponizes the Federal Government against those who have the least. It mocks what this country stands for.…”
