United Under the Dream Act
Floor Speech
Issues: Immigration
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. Speaker, too often we hear about our country being divided, and yet when it comes to the Dream Act, the message is clear: our country is united.
A wide majority of Americans and nearly 70 percent of Republicans want us to pass this legislation. They want us to provide permanent legal status to DREAMers--800,000 people who are working hard, studying in our universities, contributing to our economy, and serving in our military.
Mr. Speaker, I demand that we bring up the Dream Act for a vote. We cannot force these young people, who have received DACA, to wait any longer to know that America wants them to live here.
