She is not asking for a handout. She wants what most
Americans want, to be able to keep doing her work. There is no question our immigration system is broken, but we don't
fix it by kicking out these contributing members of our communities who
grew up here--underscore that. They may not have been born here, but
they grew up here. They know our country. They live in Toledo and
Dayton and Xenia, and they live in Mansfield. Those are their lives, as
it was my life growing up in Mansfield. We don't fix our immigration system by kicking out these contributing
members who grew up here and made their home here--who are American in
every sense except the paperwork. It is time for us to come together to
put partisan considerations aside and pass a commonsense solution that
protects these kids, protects these Dreamers, and upholds our American
values
I yield the floor.
