I ask unanimous consent that the February 9. 2015. Wall Street Journal article be printed in the RECORD at the conclusion of these remarks. So what are these immigration provisions that have the Republicans in such a rage that they are willing to jeopardize the funding of the Department of Homeland Security? One of them relates to a bill I introduced 14 years agothe DREAM Act. Over the span of 14 years. though. this has not become the law of the land. It has become shorthand for a challenge we have with our broken immigration system. Here is the challenge: There were infants. toddlers. and small children brought to the United States by their parents many years ago. They were not documented. They grew up in this country. and they went to school in this country. They speak English. They have dreams about what they will do with their future. but being undocumented they are unable to realize those dreams.
