Speaker, I thank the gentleman, Congressman
Costa, for his remarks. He made several very important points. One of
them was the economic benefits of the DREAMer population, the DACA
population, on their communities and how not only for California and
his district, but for so many other parts of the country where you do
have DACA recipients, it would be a real economic blow to deport these
folks, to uproot them from the communities and simply get them out of
here. It would be an economic blow to the economies of those cities and
towns and States and, of course, to our Nation. The second thing that I thought was very important is really the
human element that right now, as you can imagine, these 800,000 young
people are watching the United States Congress.
