Speaker, a little clarity I think is very
important on a very, very important issue. I would like to call 140,000 young people in my State DREAMers
because they dream of the greatness of America. The status that they
are under is something called DACA, which was instituted by President
Barack Obama because this Republican Congress could not provide
legislative relief, so he saw the lives that were being impacted. In a
few months, however, the present President, who feigns not knowing what
happened, was the individual who removed that DACA status. So let me be very clear: it is a dire situation, and the reason is
because there are individuals whose status is now expiring or has
already expired, therefore, they are living in limbo. These are
doctors, lawyers, teachers, and young people with families. It is crucial that we move quickly for a DACA fix, and we do it
without impacting family reunification or diversity visas. We do it out
of humanity, caring, and respect. Let's do it now.
