Republicans have tried repeatedly to stop President Obamas efforts. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people over the past 3 years. Shutting down this program would cause the deportation of young men and women to countries they dont know. We. with the President. will do everything in our power to protect and defend this program and to fight the baseless lawsuit that is preventing over 5 million additional people for the American dream. The Supreme Court has been clear that Presidents have the authority for Federal immigration enforcement priorities. I am confident that the Presidents actions will ultimately be upheld. and I will continue to fight to protect those programs and keep families together. I look forward to the day when programs such as DACA are replaced with permanent comprehensive immigration reform. which is so vitally important. Before closing. on the floor today is the assistant Democratic leader. He has been on this floor articulating the importance of these DREAMers and what they do for our country. and what initially was their potential for our country.
