 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  I was proud to vote this week to approve this law because it is time 
to provide stability to the recipients of DACA.
  The Dreamers are our friends and neighbors.
  They are Americans in every sense of the word--except on paper.
  I had the honor to be a professor at a college in my district, 
Modesto Junior College.
  One of my young students was studying to be a pharmacist.
  But because her family had brought her here when she was only three 
months old, her future is at stake.
  Stories like hers are common, especially in my district, in the 
Central Valley.
  More than 10,000 young people are eligible to receive their 
citizenship by the Dream Act.
  Dreamers deserve this opportunity. It is time to pass the Dream Act.
  Presidenta de la Camara de Representantes, exijo que el Senado tome 
accion al respecto a la ``Dream Act''.
  Con orgullo, esta semana vote para aprobar esta ley porque ya es 
tiempo de darles seguridad a los recipientes de DACA.
  Los Dreamers son nuestros amigos y vecinos.
  Son americanos en todo el sentido de la palabra--menos en un papel.
  Tuve el honor de ser un profesor en un colegio en mi distrito, 
Modesto Junior College.
  Una de mis estudiantes era una joven que estaba estudiando para ser 
farmaceutica.
  Pero como su familia la trajo a este pais cuando tenia solo tres 
meses, su futuro esta en peligro.
  Historias como la suya son comunes, especialmente en mi distrito en 
el Valle Central de California.
  Mas de diez mil jovenes son elegibles para recibir ciudadania con La 
``Dream Act.''
  Los Dreamers merecen esta oportunidad. Es tiempo para pasar la 
``Dream Act.''
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Fletcher). The gentleman from 
California will provide the Clerk a translation of his remarks.
