Ms. DUCKWORTH. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Illinois for
all the work he does on behalf of Dreamers throughout the country. His
leadership in this effort is absolutely inspiring. I am here to speak out in favor of passing a clean Dream Act to
create a pathway to citizenship for young immigrants who enrich our
country and strengthen our economy and national security. The passage
of the Dream Act is critical to the thousands of Dreamers living in
Illinois. I want to share one young woman's story. This is Christian
Villalobos. Christian traveled from Mexico with her mother and younger
sister because her mother was fleeing an abusive marriage.
