CURBELO of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind my
colleagues how critical it is that Republicans and Democrats work in
good faith to find a compromise on immigration policy in the coming
days. Congress first began trying to pass legislation for the benefit of
young immigrants who were brought to our country as children through no
fault of their own some 17 years ago. All attempts have failed, but
this time failure is not an option.
800,000 DREAMers who came forward and registered with the government
in recent years would be at risk. These are young people who are
working, paying taxes, getting educated, and contributing to our
country.
