That is not law and order. That is fear and chaos. So where is our compassion and our sense of urgency? How many more
Dreamers have to lose their DACA status before we stand up and do what
is right? The time for temporary fixes is over. The time for empty
gestures is over. The time for heartfelt words is over. It is time for us to stand up for these young people, and it is time
for us to act. It is time for us--Democrats and Republicans--to use
whatever legislative vehicle is necessary to pass the Dream Act. Whether it is a continuing resolution or a straight vote here on the
floor, it is time for us to get this done.
