Republican leaders in Congress need to take this
opportunity seriously, especially if they expect our support. I will be fighting every step of the way to pass the Dream Act, and I
encourage all of my colleagues to do the same. Since President Trump shamefully pulled the rug out from under
Dreamers when he hastily ended the DACA Program, I have spent time
meeting with Dreamers in New Mexico, as well as here in Washington. You
cannot hear their stories without realizing how morally bankrupt the
administration's current policy is. It is impossible for me to convey
the desperation and the fear they are feeling every day that passes
without our passing the Dream Act.
