Sadly, they continue to drive this country to the brink of one
avoidable, self-inflicted crisis after another. This short-term resolution ignores--ignores--urgent bipartisan
priorities that Democrats have been pushing for months with
Republicans, the most urgent of which is passing a clean Dream Act. DACA recipients are American in every way except on paper, and right
now, their lives are hanging in the balance. Every day Congress fails
to take action, 122 DACA recipients lose their protections. It is time
to put politics aside and pass a clean Dream Act immediately. Mr. Speaker, this continuing resolution is really irresponsible and
it is morally bankrupt. It fails to honor the temporary protected
status for immigrants. It fails to raise budget caps equally for
defense and nondefense spending. It fails to fund community health
centers.
