In the meanwhile, Republicans, Democrats, and the White House are
all trying to put forward bipartisan solutions for the hundreds of
thousands of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients and
DREAMers, and we could be debating that on the floor and putting
together the final package now to do that by this Friday. But instead,
we are discussing these bills that my constituents aren't telling me
that they are sending me to Washington to pass. A lot of my colleagues say that the deadline for DACA isn't until
March, but, in reality, over 100 deferred action DREAMers every day
lose their protected status as their benefits expire. Every day the
Republicans fail to act, they are creating over 100 more illegal
immigrants in this country. If Republicans fail to act by March, they
will have created over 800,000 more people here illegally in our
country. We have about 18,000 DREAMers in Colorado able to work legally today.
