Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, since the President's decision last week to end the DACA program, DREAMers across the country have lived each day in fear. I have heard that fear from my constituents in Illinois, which hosts the fourth largest DACA population in the country. One of my constituents came to this country when he was 3. Now 23 years old, he is a university student, works at the local senior center, and he helps out in his father's small business on the weekends. In his letter to me, he said: ``It is during these trying times that each one of us demonstrates who we are and what we truly stand for.'' I couldn't agree more.
