                      CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF DACA

  (Mr. AGUILAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. AGUILAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 10th 
anniversary of the DACA program on June 15, 2022.
  In the last decade, this program has allowed young Americans to 
pursue the American Dream in the only country they know to be their 
home. They have been able to live without fear of being separated from 
their families and have been able to pursue higher education and their 
dream jobs. They are our friends, our family members, trusted community 
leaders, coworkers, and fellow Americans in every way but on a piece of 
paper.
  Madam Speaker, we need to do more. Since I have been in Congress, I 
have been proud to support the DACA recipients, including through 
introducing legislation to give them a pathway to citizenship and 
advocating for DACA recipients to work in Congress and across the 
Federal Government.
  I am proud to work with my colleagues in the Hispanic Caucus to fight 
for immigrant communities and to urge the U.S. Senate to take up 
measures that the House has passed time and time again.
