Thirty-four of my colleagues, my Republican colleagues, have sent a letter to Republican Speaker Ryan asking for action to protect DREAMers before the holidays because they understand the urgency. What are we waiting for? Republicans continue to state that we have until March to resolve this issue, but that is simply not true. 122 DREAMers lose protection every single day. That means that 122 intelligent, hardworking Americans, by every right except birth, are losing their ability to continue their education, to work and contribute to our economy. Are we willing to stop the deportations of hundreds of thousands of young DREAMers or not? This is not a partisan question. This is the question of who we are as Americans.
