Speaker, we only have a few legislative days left before the end
of the year, and we have very important work to do, like reauthorizing
the Children's Health Insurance Program and funding the government for
the remainder of the fiscal year. There are millions of Americans who have been negatively affected by
devastating hurricanes and wildfires in Puerto Rico, Texas, Florida,
and the Virgin Islands, and Congress has not stepped up to the plate. There are also over 800,000 aspiring Americans who are at risk of
being deported from the only country they have ever known as home
because of the reckless actions of President Trump. Congress needs to
act to find a real solution so DREAMers can continue to work legally in
the communities that they live in, and they continue to thrive and give
back to make our country even greater. We have a lot of critical tasks ahead, which is why I am really
surprised, with all of this work to do, and only 7 or 8 days to do it,
that here we are considering two bills where we will have our debate,
but they are not bills of great importance.
