LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, this Chamber must act to protect DREAMers
now in limbo because of President Trump's decision to end the DACA
program. DACA recipients are rigorously vetted. They are high-contributing
young people who were brought to this country as children. They are
cherished members of communities across the country, and they are as
American as any of us in all but their paperwork. President Trump's decision to end the program means that these
inspiring young people stand to lose their futures. Soon they will be
forced out of work and school, faced with the specter of deportation to
nations many of them have no memory of. The President has created a
moral emergency for our country. This House must allow a vote on a clean Dream Act.
