We
want you to be a citizen. They gave him that citizenship just a few
weeks before the United States entered World War II. Otherwise, I guess
he would have been deported to Switzerland right in the middle of the
war. That is my story, and everyone has an immigrant story. The Senate-passed bill, when we did comprehensive reform--and I was
one of the people very involved in that on the Judiciary Committee--
included a version of the DREAM Act, which would have created a path to
citizenship for those eligible for DACA who had graduated from high
school and gone on to complete higher education or to serve in the
military. We must end this uncertainty for Dreamers. That is why I have
joined with so many of my colleagues in calling on Leader McConnell to
hold a vote.
