But what about the
community health centers? What about improving healthcare for veterans? The continuing resolution turns a blind eye to victims in desperate
need of help in the wake of some of the worst hurricanes, mudslides,
and wildfires our Nation has ever experienced and to 700,000 DREAMers
who remain at risk of being deported following President Trump's
decision to end DACA. Remember what DACA was about. We asked young people who had been
brought to the United States by their parents at a very young age to
come out and to register and say that they were undocumented and that
we would protect them as a way to citizenship. But instead, that was
taken away from them, and they face deportation and are being deported
daily--and it is an emergency. But it also fails to take any action, this particular CR does, on
bipartisan priorities like the pension crisis, veterans healthcare,
and, as I said, the community health centers. What has the majority prioritized instead of crafting a long-term
spending bill that deals with these urgent issues?
