Here is what it said. We have created an opportunity for about 2 million children brought to this country who have lived good lives. finished school. have no problems with the law and want to become part of America. The President has created an Executive order giving these children a chance to come forward. register with the government. pay their filing fee. and not be deported. Madam President. 600.000 of them have taken advantage of that. This is called DACA. The Presidents Executive order gives them a chance to live in America. to go to school in America. to get a job in America. to make this a better nation. So 600.000 have done it. We believe 1.4 million more are eligible. They have not signed up yet. So the Republican House of Representatives. in August. before they adjourned. passed a measure which said: The remaining 1.6 million who may be eligible for this protection cannot be allowed to be part of the DACA Program. Those 1.6 million young people should be subject to deportationdeportation. Think about that for a moment. brought here at the age of 2 or 3 as infants. living in the United States their entire lives. standing in classrooms across America every morning pledging allegiance to the only flag they have ever known. and the Republicans voted. with an overwhelming majority. to deport themto deport them. That is not bad enough.
