BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, by ending DACA, President Trump
made our immigration system less fair and just for our young people. These DREAMers study in our schools and work on our Main Streets. They are Americans, and the United States is their home. It makes no
sense to deport them simply because of the actions of their parents. This decision is so contrary to our American values that even business
leaders and faith leaders called on the President not to do it. My grandmother came to this country from Jamaica as a domestic worker
and, for a period of time, was undocumented. She did this so that my
father could become the first member of our family to go to college. He
repaid his mother and this country by becoming a doctor and working in
some of the poorest neighborhoods near where I grew up.
