MAKE THE DREAM ACT A REALITY
(Mr. HONDA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, as chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific
American Caucus, I urge my colleagues to support the DREAM Act this
week.
Failure to pass the DREAM Act would disproportionately impact the 1.5
million Asian students in our country. Hardworking and high-achieving
students like Soo Ji Lim and Steve ``Shing Ma'' Li have overcome
numerous barriers in their lives and are now on track to finish
college.
These students already contribute to our country, and we owe them a
chance at the American Dream. We must act, and we must make the DREAM
Act a reality for students like them. It is a good investment. Let's
get a return on the investment.
