Mr. Speaker, I stand on the floor of the U.S. House of
Representatives as the clock keeps ticking for us to act on behalf of
DREAMers and DACA recipients. Tonight, this House approved a continuing resolution funding
government to continue to stay open for another 4 weeks that did not
include a resolution to the dire conditions faced by DREAMers and DACA
recipients. It did not include funding for community based health
clinics, and it certainly did not adequately support the men and women
in our Armed Forces. Yet, Mr. Speaker, as we continue to move forward, many Members of
this House have worked diligently throughout the months to address the
issues faced by DREAMers and DACA recipients. In fact, they have
engaged in bipartisan legislative solutions. And we currently have
three bipartisan bills that could have been voted on today on this very
same floor of the House of Representatives.
