There is an urgent need. We have hundreds of
thousands, perhaps millions, of Americans who want America to be their
country--who were
brought here through no fault of their own, who are working in our
factories and offices, who are going to our schools, and who are
serving in our military. Right now, every morning they wake up with a
pit of fear in their heart that they will be deported and separated
from their families. There is a very strong urgency there, and we have
to get the Dreamers taken care of as well as these other needs. So our language, our proposal on this budget deal is to take care of
the middle class in terms of pensions and opioids and veterans, take
care of disaster relief, take care of the healthcare problems we face--
we all know about CHIP, community health centers, and healthcare
extenders--and take care of both the border and the Dreamers.
