Mr. ESPAILLAT. Madam Speaker, September 5, 2017: that is a day that
will forever be ingrained in the minds of immigrants and DREAMers as
the day that Donald Trump crossed a moral line.
The President is playing hot potato with a group of young people who,
like me, came to this country ``with heart,'' ``con corazon;'' ``with
humility,'' ``con humildad;'' and ``with a desire to do more,'' ``con
el deseo de hacer mas.''
DREAMers are ``fighters,'' ``luchadores.'' They are fighters, and so
we will not rest until the Dream Act is the law of the land and until
DREAMers and their parents can go to sleep without the fear of ICE
knocking on their door and showing up in their place of worship,
school, or at a hospital.
To my colleagues, we urge you to stand with us, stand with 800,000
DACA recipients, and stand with their parents in passing the Dream Act.
