BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because this Thursday,
October 5, is an important deadline: 154,000 young men and women have
until this Thursday to renew their status under the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Those 154,000 DACA recipients,
whose authorization expires before March 6, 2018, must renew their
application. If you are one of them, please send in your application today. Under
the new DACA rules, you are entitled to receive two more years of
deferral, but only if the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
receives your application by October 5. If you have not already sent in
your application, send it in the fastest way possible. A regular first
class stamp will likely not arrive in time. My district is home to many DACA beneficiaries known as DREAMers. Do
not wait. To all the other DREAMers, I say: Don't lose hope.
