Mr. HEINRICH. Madam President, I rise today to stand up for the
hundreds of thousands of young immigrants known as Dreamers, whose
lives President Trump has thrown into terrifying uncertainty. Immigrant communities have long helped write the economic, social,
and cultural story of my home State of New Mexico and, for that matter,
the entire Nation. That is certainly true for Dreamers, undocumented
immigrants who arrived in the United States as children and are vital
members of communities across New Mexico. Over the years, I have had the privilege of meeting many of New
Mexico's estimated 7,000 Dreamers. I have met with students who grew up
here and are now striving to become doctors, scientists, teachers, and
even serve in our military.
