ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, the President's decision to rescind
DACA has brought fear to hundreds of thousands of DREAMers and their
families. They are DREAMers like Saul Jimenez, who teaches special needs
students in Los Angeles, and is just one example of how DREAMers
contribute and add value to our country and our communities. DREAMers are American in every way except for their immigration
status. To send DREAMers to a country they have never known would be
tragic for them and our Nation, which will lose their valuable
contributions. The American people overwhelmingly oppose deporting our DREAMers, and
our faith-based community and business leaders are imploring Congress
to pass the Dream Act. Yet the Republican leadership is ignoring their
wishes and refusing to allow us a vote on this bipartisan, bicameral
bill. To my Republican colleagues who say they want to protect our Nation's
DREAMers: If that is true, this is your chance.
