President Obama would have signed it into law. I
might not be standing here today talking about this issue. Over the years, I have come to the floor of the Senate to tell story
after story about DREAMers, the young immigrant students who grew up in
this country. These stories put a human face on the DACA Program and
the DREAM legislation. They show that immigration makes our country
stronger. Today, I want to say a word about Gissel Escobedo. This is Gissel. She came to the United States at the age of 3. Her family emigrated
from Mexico. She grew up in my home State of Illinois, in the town of
Cicero. She was an honors student in high school.
