So they are productive members of our society. Let me just say that they are also working very hard to distinguish themselves in higher education. Every year, an estimated 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school. About 10,000 undocumented students graduate from college every single year. Before President Obama announced DACA, these young people faced great barriers when it came to higher education. We are nowhere close to where we need to be if 55,000 high school graduates are not pursuing a higher education. Let's not forget these students. Let's not forget these DREAMers. Let's not forget these DACA recipients. We have made a full effort in the House and in the Senate to have a bipartisan approach to solving this issue, but yet, once again, the continuing resolution which is currently, right now, being debated in the Senate chose to leave the DREAMers out in the cold.
