Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge Congress to move
quickly on finding a legislative solution for DREAMers before January
19. With every passing day that Congress delays action from now until
March 5, approximately 122 people will lose their DACA protection. We
cannot forget about the consequences that DACA termination will have on
women and their families. Mr. Speaker, 53 percent of active DACA recipients are women. As the
vice chair of the Democratic Women's Working Group, I am here to say
that we need to represent all women and their families. All women just
want a better future for themselves and their children. Without safety
from deportation, families will be torn apart. Many DREAMers now have
children of their own. It is time for Congress to act.
