That is why today is a sad day. The Presidents efforts to extend this program and help othersparents of young DREAMers like this have been stopped cold by the courts and stopped cold by the Republican leadership. President Abraham Lincoln once said. "We cannot escape history." and history is very clear. we are a nation of immigrants. My mother was an immigrant to this country. and I stand here today as a Senator from the great State of Illinois. I am very proud of what she and her family did when she came to this country. Let us reward those who are willing to come to America to work and make it better. Let us give these young people a chance. Let us. once and for all. say this Nation of immigrants is proud of our heritage and prouder still of what immigrants can mean to our future. I yield the floor.
