Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I have been saying for years that the
American immigration system is broken, and it is about time we fix it. We must pass comprehensive immigration reform. This will obviously
require bipartisanship and a deliberative policy process to make it
happen. In the meantime, we ought to do what we can where we can agree to do
it, and that is why I am working towards this effort to protect our
DREAMers now. This is why I signed the discharge petition to bring to
the House floor a bipartisan, bicameral Dream Act which will
permanently protect these people who were brought here as children, who
are in school, who are serving in our military, who are working and
contributing to our economy, that will permanently protect DREAMers and
offer them a path to earned citizenship.
