No one can explain to me why an 8-year-old, who is such a good
person that she will come to a new country and come all the way to
Brown University's medical school, is to be punished for not having
broken up with her parents at age 8 when they brought her to this
country. It makes no sense. I see the distinguished senior Senator from Illinois here on the
floor. The battle for the DACA Program and for the Dream Act has been a
cause of his political life. There is no person in this
Chamber to whom more credit is due for this program than Senator
Durbin. So with great respect, as well as affection, I will yield the
floor to him.
