Mr President, so it's a from new Mexico yeah mister President thank you for your recognition and I'm just honored to come here today and follow the Center lahey in senator kaine in their speeches on doctor but I have also watch it over the last couple of days and I think almost every Democratic senator has been down here to the floor to speak with passion about this issue and so I'm just so proud of our our caucus in our members that have stood up and and uh call the President on this Shoot um today. I stand with millions of Americans protesting the presidents heartless decision to in the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, known as dot com. His inhumane and cruel decision threatens the hopes and aspirations of our country's young dreamers and there is no doubt it will harm the economy. I call on all members of Congress, especially the Republican leadership to act now and acts with leap to keep families together and allow these kids to realize their huge potential by making The law of the land that's. What we need to do make doctor the law of the land if the President won't do the right thing and Congress must take action in Congress must do this Democrats, Republicans and independents across new Mexico and throughout our country agree the dreamers deserve to live and work in the United States, according to a morning consult political Paul released this week 76 percent support allowing them to stay 76 percent Democrats, Republicans independents. What a big number most Americans agree. Their nation benefits from the contributions immigrants make in our communities and our economy. They believe that our government should honor it's promise to dreamers many of these young people came here as small children and have not known Any other country take roxana roxana came to Santa fe new Mexico, when she was one year old, she is now 22. She completed. She registered with doctor as soon as she could she completed the paperwork paid the fee and she is comply with all of the requirements she now works as a medical assistant with lots of meal medical Center and something fe all familiar is a great health care clinic. It provides excellent medical care To everyone in something fe including many immigrants and low income patients roxana loves her work at Los a million and she loves being able to help her fellow immigrants roxana had plans to go to nursing school, but the president's action to in dhaka jeopardize those plans and puts them on hold in roxanne is words and I quote here, Santa fe new Mexico is my home it's where I know people it's where I've live It it's where I've gone to school that's where I've grown up it's my life it's something that is mine, but doesn't truly belong to me. Those are her words. We must give roxana and the hundreds of thousands of dreamers. What should truly belong to them dreamers more than pull their economic wait in our country 97 percent are employed or are in school or do both they work and fortune 500 companies and public schools. They labor on farms and dairies. They create businesses volunteer in our communities, pay taxes and pay into social security and Medicare. Why would we choose to kick some of our most talented and most productive workers out of the country. Why I kick some of our best and brightest young people out of this country, Indian doctor Cause chaos for employers, forcing forcing these motivated young people out of work could cost us 700000 jobs and, as many as 30000 a month that adds up to 400 and 60 point three billion dollars in economic output over the next 10 years Medicare and social security contributions could drop by 24 point six billion dollars over the same period of time One of those young people who contribute to new Mexico is brand them brandon came with his mother from Mexico to the United States when he was two years old brandon goes to College and studies everyday to be an architect and he makes straight days. He holds down a job to help support his family with medical bills and volunteers in his community brandon is grateful for the doctor program that is giving him the opportunity to work and pay taxes. Yes, he is grateful to play taxes This President, continues to divide our country, like no other President, we have known everyday it is clear that is values are not in line with hours. I increasingly believe he's not fit to lead this great nation. His campaign began with anti immigrant and racist rhetoric the accused Mexican immigrants of being rapists and criminals and his bigoted words have never stop he called for a Wall along the entire border with Mexico Wall that would cost billions of tax dollars and which border communities Don't want he called for a band on Muslim refugees. Turning our backs on people who are fighting terrorism and who value the freedoms that we have here in the United States, he task sickly accepted to support of the clue klux klan neo-nazi East and bigots in pittsfield and be part of a law enforcement officer who terrorized the latino community in maricopa County Arizona with unconstitutional rates and who force detainees into in humane living situations George pile is not a good guy, as President trump called him Joe R pyle is the criminal. This President doesn't seem to value. Let alone in body the principles that America stands for and now he wants to kick out of the country young people who do value this country like Carlos here, Carlos was brought to new Mexico from Mexico when he was less than one year old, new Mexico The only home he's known because of Carl says immigration status is opportunities were limited. He couldn't play sports and school couldn't go on field trips, even though we pledged allegiance to the United States with his classmates Carlos registered with two years ago and in his words, he was given wings. He is a full time student at the Mexico state University studying to be a mechanical engineer. He volunteers as a fire Fighter. He works as a server at a local restaurant. He begin a drive to help her came hard the victims carmel says and I quote him here we are the dreamers. We is dreamers have proven ourselves to be worthy of being here in the United States. There are 800000 young people like roxana brandon and carl's hoping to do their part to make our country strong by any measure Off has been a huge success. We already have the outlines of a program that works for America. We in Congress was must roll up our sleeves and make this program the law of the land and we must make sure that America truly does belong to roxanna and all of our dreamers mister President, I not the absence of a corm the core Colorado.
