The strength of their
stories fuels our fight, and that is why I join colleagues today in
insisting that the Dream Act come to the floor of this Senate. This has
been a long battle. I am proud to have been with the Dreamers every step of the way from
the Dream Act legislation to President Obama's actions on DACA. I am
also pleased to have worked with my colleagues to introduce legislation
like the Protect Dreamer Confidentiality Act. This bill would ensure
that the information Dreamers provided to the government isn't somehow
used against them for immigration enforcement. Congress has to come together and work in a bipartisan way on a fair
path forward for Dreamers. This effort from the White House to punish
innocent young people and split families goes against the values we
cherish as Americans and further divides our country.
