We could use her medical services and
talents as a doctor in my State of Illinois, in the State of Texas, in
the State of North Dakota, and virtually every State of the Union. Why
would we want to lose a great potential doctor like her? We need her,
and we need people like her. I hope my colleagues and President Trump will join me to continue the
DACA program. I hope this administration will work with Congress to
pass the BRIDGE Act, a bipartisan bill I have introduced with Senator
Lindsey Graham to create a transition for those like Belsy, protected
by DACA, so that until this Congress--as it should--passes
comprehensive immigration reform, we would protect these young people
from deportation. Mr. President, I yield the floor.
