                               DREAM ACT

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the DREAM Act. 
Further, I rise in support of our Nation's children and young adults, 
children who, sadly, have borne the brunt of our immigration issues; 
children who have graduated from high school and want to continue on to 
college, but cannot receive any help; children who would sign up and 
fight and die for our country, but are seen as ghosts by their host 
country.
  In August of 1864, President Lincoln wrote: ``It is not merely for 
today but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our 
children's children this great and free government which we have all 
enjoyed all our lives.''
  Nearly 150 years later, we are asked to stand up to the same task to 
perpetuate this great and free government for all our children. I ask 
my colleagues to support the children and support the DREAM Act.
