Speaker, I am ready to have my friend understand that I am
getting close to closing. I don't think I have any speakers, but I do
have words that I wish to put forward right now. It is shameful that we would be in a position where the DACA program
is being threatened without a single thought to the consequences this
decision would have on the 800,000 young lives this program protects. While this may appear to be off message with regard to the measures
that are before us, the minority is given an opportunity to present
what is called a previous question, and it can be on matters germane to
the thoughts of the minority and can be on any subject that they
choose. In this instance, we choose to, with the previous question,
address DACA. Do the American people even want DACA to end? The answer is clearly
no. According to a Politico/Morning Consult poll, support for allowing
these immigrants to remain in the United States spans across party
lines: 84 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Independents, and 69
percent of Republicans think they should stay. Congress must act to
protect our DREAMers. Mr.
