I know what her early life was like as she struggled to try to make sure there was food on the table. first for her mom. sister. and brother. and then ultimately for her own family. That is my familys story. but it is a story that is repeated over and over again. There is something in the DNA of immigrants who are willing to risk everything in this world to go to a country where they dont even speak the language because they know they will have an opportunity here. and they bring something with them. That is why they light up the scoreboard in Silicon Valley with all of these new inventions and new corporations with thousands of employees that make us an economic success in many fields. That is why we should think twice about those who condemn immigrants in this Nation of immigrants. I am confident the Supreme Court will uphold the Presidents immigration actions. Then I hope. after they have done this. that the Republicans in Congress will finally decide to return to the table and work on a bipartisan basis for comprehensive immigration reform. I yield the floor.
