Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. It is shameful that President Trump would end the DACA program without a single thought to the consequences this decision would have on the 800,000 young lives this program protects. Do the American people even want DACA to end? The answer is clearly no. According to a Politico/Morning Consult poll: ``Support for allowing these immigrants to remain in the United States spans across party lines: 84 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Independents, and 69 percent of Republicans think they should stay.'' Congress must act to protect our DREAMers. Well, Mr. Speaker, here is our chance to rectify President Trump's heartless decision and restore the American people's faith in us.
