There is a bipartisan bill with overwhelming support across the
country that would allow these young people to remain in the United
States the only home most have ever known--and continue contributing to
our communities and our economy. But that bill, the DREAM Act, has languished for years. Nevertheless, instead of taking up the DREAM Act, we are rushing H.R.
3697 through just days after it was introduced and without any
hearings, markups, or the opportunity for amendment. This House should stop jamming through pieces of the Trump mass
deportation plan and instead recommit itself to lifting up the young
people of our communities by passing the DREAM act. It is what's right for our economy, our Nation and it is our moral
responsibility. I urge my colleagues to oppose H.R. 3697.
