I was proud to help draft the people's budget, which invests $200
billion to ensure that families in Texas, Louisiana, Puerto Rico,
Florida, and the U.S. territories have the immediate assistance they
need right now. The people's budget would also reduce the deficit by $700 billion
over the next 20 years by investing in human capital. We would do this
while enacting comprehensive immigration reform, protecting DREAMers,
and ending funding for family detention centers. Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to support the people's budget
and reject H. Con. Res. 71. Let's stands with the working class, the
middle class, and the immigrants in our country. This is the right
thing to do for our people and for our economy.
