Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, given that each day that Congress delays
action on the Dream Act, 122 people lose their DACA protected status--
since September 5, when Trump eliminated DACA, close to 16,000 young
people have lost their protected status and face daily risk of
deportation; given the fact that we have pleaded with Republican
leadership on the urgency of finding a permanent legislative solution
that will protect DREAMers; given the fact that the contradictions and
confusion in the negotiations going on to craft a legislative fix
continue to abound; and given the fact that this House has the
opportunity to vote on a clean Dream Act, we must act now on a
permanent solution that will protect DREAMers.
