Let us also be very clear. Despite what some have said, this is an
urgent matter that must be addressed now. Since President Trump
rescinded the DACA Program in September, more than 15,000 Dreamers have
already lost their DACA status and are now subject to deportation. Each
day the Congress does not act, 122 people lose their DACA protections,
and 851 people each and every week. This is a matter of urgency, and we
have to act accordingly. But I want to assure my Republican colleagues that not only is this
the right thing to do from a moral perspective and from an economic
perspective, but it is also exactly what the American people want.
