I hope to meet more
of them, but I can state that these are exactly the kind of hard-
working young people who we should be encouraging to put down roots in
our communities. Skeptics should know the facts. Dreamers have been subjected to deep
scrutiny. They faced background checks by immigration officials, they
have paid significant fees, and they have followed the rules. It is
simply untenable to continue to delay a resolution of their status in
our country any longer. Indeed, too many of my colleagues seem to be in
no hurry to reach a meaningful agreement on passing the bipartisan
Dream Act.
