I hope there are enough Senators on both sides of the aisle. 60plus. who will stand up for the DREAMers of America. This is a test. It is a test as to whether we believe in fairness and justice and the value that immigrants such as Oscar Vazquez bring to the future of America. The House of Representatives just doesnt see it. They are blinded by their hatred for these immigrants. and they continue to pass these mean spirited amendments. We can do better. We must do better as a nation. Let us stand up for the DREAMers. and let us all be dedicated to passing comprehensive immigration reform. Our immigration laws are broken. Our system is broken. It is time for us to accept our responsibility and repair it. We passed a bill a year and a half ago on the floor of the Senate with 68 votes14 RepublicansRepublicans and Democrats voted for it and sent it over to the House of Representatives and it languished for a year and a half. They refused to even call it or consider it. Our immigration system is still broken. Withholding money from the Department of Homeland Security. threatening with these riders that are dream killers for so many young people in America. that is unacceptable. I will stand on this floor as long as it takes to defend this DREAM Act and people such as Oscar Vazquez. who contribute to America and make it a better nation.
