800,000 DREAMers who now face the possibility of being dragged away

their communities. I notice that the Speaker has said that, while he supports relief for

of the DREAMers by returning to its mass deportation agenda based on
the fear and dehumanization of immigrants. This bill brings shame upon this House and this Nation's tradition of
due process and fundamental fairness. Mr.
