They were from the Middle East. Yet,
today, their daughter stands here on the floor of the House to address
the House and the people of our Nation. Our Nation, from its beginnings, was built by immigrants. I stand
here today to say I love immigrants. They are the backbone of each
generation and really the blood that flows through the veins of
America. If you put a clamp on that vein, you stop the heart of America
from beating. Shortly after President Trump terminated the DACA program, Pope
Francis said: ``To all people''--of the United States--``I ask: take
care of the migrant who is a promise of life for the future.''
Please follow his words, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, and we
will be a better nation because of it.
