Speaker, this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in El Paso,
Texas, hundreds of my fellow citizens will come out to San Jacinto
Plaza to join us in celebrating, supporting, and defending those
DREAMers who, across this country, are 700,000 strong, who were brought
here at a young age are now contributing in, living in our communities,
going to school, serving in the military, and helping to create jobs
and grow our economy. I am also introducing tomorrow the DREAMer Information Protection Act
to protect those DREAMers who voluntarily came forward out of the
shadows to give their personal information, their names, telephone
numbers, and addresses to the Federal Government. I want to protect
them and make sure that same government doesn't turn around and use
that information to deport them, as the incoming administration has
promised to end the executive DACA action and potentially deport those
DREAMers on who this country is depending, not just for our economic
success but our growth and success as a country that has always gained
from immigrants who contribute to the American way of life.
