providing Dreamers with a path to citizenship. These are the immigrants that we should embrace and protect, not vilify and throw back into the shadows again.
Although we won’t have a decision Tuesday, I will walk into the court with the faith and hope that Dreamers will remain protected by our government. And I will take this opportunity to recommit to fighting for them in Congress. We need to permanently lift the cloud over their heads and give them the freedom and opportunities that will allow them to reach their God-given potential.
Think about it. Despite the past few years of frightening uncertainty, Dreamers continue to inspire us with their courage and determination to keep the dream alive. Every day, they continue going to school, serving our country, starting businesses and raising families — all while organizing, raising their voices and fighting for the lasting and permanent pathway to citizenship they deserve. Simply put, Dreamers are working hard to shape our nation for the better.
No amount of hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric can dim the hopes and dreams of these young people. Their dedication and resolve will continue to inspire our fight for what is right. Being American is more than just having a piece of paper. It’s about living our American ideals, working hard to build a better future for your children and grandkids, weaving your life story into our diverse quilt of history.
