Mr. Speaker, I rise today to protect and
defend our DREAMers. Now that President Trump has failed all of us by rescinding DACA,
Congress must now move immediately to protect these courageous,
patriotic DREAMers like my constituent and aspiring cardiovascular
surgeon, Cinthya Moran. Cinthya just wants an opportunity to contribute to her community, and
in her own words: ``We are only here to contribute to this amazing
country.''
Like Cinthya, all DACA recipients are our friends, they are our
neighbors, they are soldiers on the battlefield, they are new
homeowners, they are entrepreneurs, they are students. I urge my colleagues to support our DACA constituents and pass
legislation that protects these brave young people, and I ask you to do
that as soon as possible.
