                  DACA RECIPIENTS NEED PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP

      (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
    minute.)
      Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share an incredible story of
    one of my constituents, a proud DACA recipient, Martha Delgado.
      Raised by a single mother who worked in the fields and cleaned
    houses, Martha was determined to earn the American Dream. She graduated
    with high honors from Godinez Fundamental High School in Santa Ana and
    then went on to earn a bachelor's degree in public health from UC
    Merced in 2019.
      Martha's passion for innovation led her to University Lab Partners,
    where she helps startup companies develop groundbreaking medical
    devices and diagnostic devices. She helps bridge the gap between
    research and real-world problems.
      Martha's journey is a testament to the impact our youth can have when
    they have the opportunity to earn the American Dream. I will not stop
    fighting until she and other DACA recipients have a shot to earn
    American citizenship.
