Mr. Speaker, last night, a U.S. District Court Judge ordered the
administration to continue accepting renewal applications for DACA
recipients. Although this is welcome news, this should not undercut the
urgency for us here in Congress to pass a permanent legislative
solution to shield our DREAMers from deportation. This week, I, again, had the great honor of meeting another great
group of bright and hardworking young immigrants from my district whose
DACA permits will expire in the coming weeks and the coming months. Despite their circumstances, despite living in fear and uncertainty
about what their future holds, each one of these individuals has
demonstrated great resolve and perseverance to continue the fight. They visit Members of Congress, they share their unique stories, they
provide the facts about their contributions in our communities, and
they implore us to give them the opportunity to stay in what they
consider to be their home, the United States.
