Mr. NELSON. Mr. President, Senator Durbin has been leading a group of
us talking about DACA, or the Dreamers. I wish to tell the Senate two
stories. I wish to tell you about Elisha Dawkins. He was a baby who was
brought from the Bahamas at age 6 months. He grew up in America. He
grew up in Jacksonville, FL. He never knew anything about his roots. He
only knew that he was in America. He served two tours in Iraq. He came back and joined the Navy
Reserve. He had a top secret clearance and was sent to the very
sensitive post of Guantanamo, where he was given a job as a
photographer--obviously, a very sensitive position.
