ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, as early as March 6, 2018, hundreds of
thousands of young immigrants, who are as American as you, could be
forced to leave our great country. The United States is their home, and the DACA program has afforded
these DREAMers the opportunity to come out of the shadows, work
legally, and pursue their educational goals. They are buying homes,
creating businesses, working in our schools and hospitals, and
contributing to our economy. Simply put, they are active members of our
community. Mr. Speaker, Congress can save these young Americans from
deportations. I have introduced, along with my friend, Congresswoman
Lucille Roybal-Allard, legislation that will ensure DREAMers can
continue to fully participate in the American way of life and one day
even become proud American citizens. The love for this country is
already embedded in their hearts.
