                                  DACA

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, normally at this time the majority leader and 
I do a colloquy. We do a colloquy to discuss the schedule for the week 
to come. My suspicion is they don't know what the schedule is for the 
week to come because they were going to offer two immigration bills to 
undermine the proposal that so many have made to have four alternatives 
on DACA available for the people's House to speak for the people.
  We are noting today 6 years since President Obama put into place 
protection for DACA protectees. Mr. Speaker, 86 percent of the American 
people support doing just that, and the President asked this House to 
act. Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Hurd in a bipartisan way--everybody says to 
the public: Yes, we want to work in a bipartisan way--well, the 
majority had the opportunity to do it, and they have retreated from 
that responsibility and that assertion.
  I lament the fact that we have not acted as the President asked us to 
on protecting DACA. They are Americans in everything but paper.
