They are young folks in America brought to this country as toddlers and infants. young boys and girls who grew up in this country. went to school in this country. have no problems in their criminal record and want to be part of America. That is it. What the Republicans have said in the House is we want to deport these peopledeport them because they are here undocumented. despite the fact that we have educated them and many of them are successes in life and want to be part of our future. The Republicans have said deport them. The senior Senator from Maine has authored a bill to address this subject. but as much as I respect her and count her as a friend. it falls short of protecting the DREAMers who are in this country under DACA. I have to say that as one learns the stories of those who are protected by the Presidents Executive order. we wonder what are the Republicans thinking. I have tried to tell these stories in light of individuals. not statistics. and here is one I wish to tell everyone today.
