Speaker, if you look at the class of DREAMers today
that contribute to this country, many of them work and go to school. Many of them are breadwinners for their families. They want to stay,
and yet we have given them no opportunity to do so. They are patriotic,
they are talented, and what they contribute to our country economically
is tremendous. If you think about the number of DREAMers who have bank accounts, who
have credit cards, and who purchase goods that are produced here in the
United States, to simply embark on a path of mass deportations isn't
going to help our economy, and it is going to rip apart these families.
