So they are left in limbo. They have nowhere to turn. Under the laws of the United States they are subject to deportation. President Obama said on a 2year basis we will protect these young people from deportation. They will have a background check. they will pay their fees. and on a 2year basis they can live in America without fear of deportation and work in America or go to school in America. Those are the DREAMers. That is the DACA provision which the Republicans are opposing in the House of Representatives. It is the provision which the majority leader insists we vote on before we can fund the Department of Homeland Security. I think it is instructive to introduce these DREAMers to Members of the Senate who may not know who they are. and I want to introduce two of them today: Nelson and John Magdaleno.
