Madam Speaker. last week. House Republicans voted to eliminate DAPA. a program that would protect nearly 40 percent of undocumented immigrants. promote family unity. and boost our economy. They also voted to end DACA. which has helped some 630.000 DREAMers. including 10.000 in Nevada. come out of the shadows and pursue the American Dream. This Republican attack is not only being waged at the Federal level. Yesterday. Nevadas Republican attorney general joined more than two dozen other States in a lawsuit challenging President Obamas executive action on immigration. although every President since Eisenhower has used similar executive authority to protect immigrants in our country. So what then is the real reason for this declaring war on immigrants? Could it be that they want to keep a desperate underclass to fill those lowwage. nobenefit jobs? Or do some fear that these folks might become citizens and vote them out of office?
