Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Initially, I want to say that I hope that very soon, in a bipartisan
way, we will bring a DACA bill to this floor. Let me quote what President Trump said last night. Trump tweeted that
he wanted to ``legalize DACA,'' another call to action, and further
muddled where the administration stood and what it would do. He said: We need to come together and do this, and we really have no
choice. Now, I want to speak about this bill. As the chairman knows, and as
the ranking member knows, I served on the Appropriations Committee for
23 years, so I have taken leave of absence because I am one of the
leaders on our side of the aisle.
