                      MAKE THE DREAM ACT A REALITY

  (Mr. HONDA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, as chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific 
American Caucus, I urge my colleagues to support the DREAM Act this 
week.
  Failure to pass the DREAM Act would disproportionately impact the 1.5 
million Asian students in our country. Hardworking and high-achieving 
students like Soo Ji Lim and Steve ``Shing Ma'' Li have overcome 
numerous barriers in their lives and are now on track to finish 
college.
  These students already contribute to our country, and we owe them a 
chance at the American Dream. We must act, and we must make the DREAM 
Act a reality for students like them. It is a good investment. Let's 
get a return on the investment.
