While we use this month to reflect on their dignity and importance to
this country, this year, in particular, the Hispanic American community
is best served through actions not just words. Congress must pass the
Dream Act. President Trump's order to rescind the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals, DACA, Program has shaken the Hispanic American
community and most American to their core. Dreamers were brought to
this country as children, with no decision in the matter. More
importantly, they are quintessentially American in every way, except
for their immigration status. They have lived, played, worshipped, and
gone to school alongside our children most of their lives. They are our
children's classmates and neighborhood friends and teammates.
