We have heard positive
things said about it by Speaker Ryan, the Republican Speaker of the
House, and even by Senator McConnell, Senator Hatch, and many who
cosponsored it. We have to bring this measure up and get it done, once
and for all. In the meantime, 780,000 young people in America protected by DACA
heard the news today, and their hearts were broken. They know now that
the clock is running. It is the deportation clock. If we don't act--and
act in a timely fashion--young people like this man here, who risked
his life and helped the people in Houston during Hurricane Harvey, may
be deported, and he will certainly lose any opportunity he has to
continue to be a licensed paramedic. Will America be better if Jesus Contreras has to leave the United
States? Would Houston have been better during this crisis if he had not
been there?
