                    BRING THE DREAM ACT TO THE FLOOR

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge Speaker Ryan do the 
following: before he retires, do the right thing and bring the Dream 
Act to the floor.
  Already 46 of his Republican colleagues and more than 170 Democrats--
that is 218 bipartisan supporters--have, as of today, cosponsored H. 
Res. 774. This will force debate on competing DACA bills in the House 
and use a procedure known as Queen of the Hill. This will include four 
amendments, including Representative Roybal-Allard's clean Dream Act 
and an amendment, H.R. 4796, the USA Act. Mr. Speaker, this will force 
a debate on this issue.
  The Dreamers have the support of the American people and Members of 
Congress. Bring the Dream Act to the floor.
