STAND WITH THE DREAMERS
(Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to say to DREAMers, their
parents, and TPS holders from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and
Honduras: I stand with you.
To date, over 15,000 young people have lost DACA due to congressional
inaction, and the lives of over 800,000 young people are being used as
a bargaining chip.
For what? A wall?
So stop playing with the people's lives. Enough is enough. Let's pass
the Dream Act now.
