Mr. President. today. I rise in support of the DREAM Act. introduced by Senators DURBIN. LUGAR. and myself. Each year. thousands of hardworking students who graduate from American high schools are unable to attend college or serve in the military because of their illegal immigration status. These young people were brought to the United States by adults who were breaking the law. In America. we have never held children responsible for their parents sins. It is not the habit of the United States to punish children for the actions of their parents. Lets not start now. Many have been in our country nearly their entire lives. and most have received their primary education here.
