                     OUR DIVERSITY MAKES US STRONG

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
support of the millions of Dreamers who call America home and 
contribute to the rich tapestry of our country, yet have seen their 
dreams of a permanent home deferred over and over again.
  These Americans, in every way but on paper, deal with uncertainty 
each day that we fail to act. Now that the House has acted, the Senate 
must immediately pass the American Dream and Promise Act.
  In our melting pot of a city, New Yorkers have shown again and again 
that it is our diversity that makes us strong and that immigrants and 
the American Dream are linked.
  So, today, the House made clear that immigrants are welcome here and 
that Dreamers deserve to know their home will not be taken away. I 
thank all of my colleagues who voted ``yes'' to providing this 
commonsense pathway to citizenship, and I urge the Senate to do the 
same.
