                                  DACA

  (Ms. GABBARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Speaker, 6 years ago today, DACA provided a shining 
light for hundreds of thousands of young Dreamers from all across this 
country to come out from the shadows and live freely without fear in a 
nation that for many has been the only home they have ever known.
  These are people who were brought here as young children through no 
choice of their own, but no longer. Now, since DACA was rescinded, 
their status and future hang in limbo with great uncertainty. Their 
futures and dreams are put on hold as those fears of being ripped from 
their families and deported to strange, foreign countries has reentered 
their lives.
  We cannot afford to wait another day. The vast majority of Americans 
support Congress passing a final solution, a permanent solution, for 
these Dreamers. The majority of Congress supports finding a permanent 
solution for these Dreamers.
  Let's stand together, work for the good of the people in this 
country, and pass a solution for these young people all across the 
country.
