He is the first person in his family to
attend college, and his goal is to earn a Ph.D. in engineering and to
address our Nation's affordable housing crisis. Today, Eliel encourages
young students to pursue careers in science and math. Eliel is a DACA student. Let me repeat. Eliel is a DACA student. He
and his family left Mexico when he was 7 years old to pursue the
American Dream through hard work and dedication. We must ensure that Eliel and hundreds of other hardworking DACA
students stay in America, the only home they have known, so that they
can also contribute to the greatness of our great country. DACA
students are our new Americans. Let us help our great Nation stay great. Let us do the right thing. Let's give our DACA students and other hardworking taxpayers in our
Nation a pathway to citizenship.
