Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Speaker, Josue Fuentes was brought to Hawaii from El
Salvador when he was 13 years old, where he was escaping rampant gang
violence and domestic abuse at home. He went to high school in Honolulu, made friends, got a job. But no
matter what he did, he couldn't escape the dark shadow cast on his
future because of his immigration status. Josue describes DACA as a weight lifted from his back. He was
empowered to apply for college. He bought a home and pursued
opportunities that any of us would want for our children. Today, he is a small business owner.
