We need
to move forward right away with the support for community health
centers because that authority will also expire. I hope we will then get on with the business of putting into law the
agreement in principle that was reached by President Trump and the
Democratic leaders in the House and the Senate to provide protections
for the Dreamers. As we all know, the President lit the 6-month fuse on
these young people who were brought here through no fault of their own,
and it is incumbent on all of us to make sure that these young people,
who have grown up knowing only America as their country and who have
grown up pledging allegiance to the flag, not face the threat of
deportation 6 months from now. That is what they are facing as of this
moment. The Senate should act quickly to pass the bipartisan Dream Act.
