Speaker. this piece of legislation is both risky and callous. It asks Americans to give into their worst instincts. If you or someone you know is out of a job. blame an immigrant. if an undocumented person commits a crime. they are all like that. We are at a moment when there are growing security threats to our Nation. and Republicans in this House of Representatives are willing to play Russian roulette with the security of the American people. The American people know better. Wide majorities support comprehensive immigration reform. including those in my home State of Texas. Majorities disagree with taking away DACA for young kids who came here through no fault of their own. I will leave with you with this question to ponder. Mr.
