They have gone to our schools. All they are asking for is a chance. When we introduced the Dream Act a week or so ago, Senator Graham said that the young people who have received DACA should be treated fairly and not have the rug pulled out from under them. Lindsey Graham is right. Over the years, I have come to the floor nearly 100 times to tell the stories of these Dreamers and to make it personal so that we come to know who they are and why I have taken the time to make this a major part of my service in the Senate. These stories put a human face on the DACA Program and on the Dream Act. They show what immigration actually means to our country in real terms. This is Juan Martinez. When he was less than 2 years old, Juan was brought to America from Mexico.
