We say these things, Mr. Speaker, because we believe them. We believe
that hard work pays off. We believe that dreams can come true. Yet, on September 5 of this year, President Trump ignored these
American beliefs when he ended the DACA program. That decision told
nearly 800,000 young people in this country that their hard work didn't
matter and that their dreams of pursuing success might not pay off in
the end. These young DREAMers, who are as American as any of us, go to school
here, they have jobs here, they raise families in our communities, and
they serve in our military.
