POLIS. Mr. Speaker, there are upwards of 800,000 DREAMers in our
country--young, de facto Americans, people who grew up here, are as
American as you or I, American in fact, albeit not in law. They are
able to work legally under the deferred action, or DACA program, that
President Obama has set up. That has been jeopardized by an
announcement that President Trump will be terminating that program
within 6 months. Now we are down to about 4\1/2\ months, a challenge to this body,
Democrats and Republicans, to work together to rectify the legal
situation of 800,000 de facto Americans.
