We had plenty of time to address this and
still do, but it takes a will on the part of the majority to get this
done. I want to thank several Republican Senators who have stepped up to
try to help me get this done, especially Lindsey Graham, a Republican
of South Carolina and my cosponsor of the Dream Act, and other Senators
who are sponsoring it and trying to move this forward. Senator Jeff
Flake, last week, announced that his vote on the tax plan was
contingent on a conversation he had with the White House about this
issue of DACA and the Dream Act. The senior Senator from Texas comes to the floor and says I haven't
really reached out to him or spoken to him about this. He must have
forgotten that I handed him this sheet of paper last week. This was our
proposal on border security in the hopes that, by being serious about
border security, we could get Republican Senators to join us when it
came to protecting those who qualified for DACA in the Dream Act. I
gave this to Senator Cornyn. He knows it.
