Speaker, this is a country that was built on dreams. Our country was founded to protect not just the right to life and
liberty but also to pursuit of happiness. Sadly, the dreams of the thousands of young DREAMers who were brought
here as children have been put on hold by President Trump's decision to
end the DACA program and Congress' inaction to pass the Dream Act. These young DREAMers have created a life for themselves here in the
U.S., and many know no other home other than the U.S. Today, I want to tell you about one special DREAMer from my district. Jose is an extremely intelligent young man. He works 6 days a week and
still finds time to volunteer in his community. His parents,
unfortunately, did not tell him that he was undocumented, in an effort
to protect him. He didn't find out about his status until it was time
to apply for college. He was extremely upset, but he didn't give up.
