Thank you, senator. [ applause ] hello. Thank you. Im from the federal government, im here to help you. So the rjc is 30 years old, right . You never looked better. You dont look a day over 20. Dont you feel like youre more relevant than ever . [ applause ] dont you feel like that what you have been trying to tell people is coming true . So i want to thank you all for helping me all these many years. Im from South Carolina as you might can tell. And the last election for senate, i had six primary opponents. From mildly disturbed to completely insane. As the insane guy was worried the most about. He rallied to my side. The Pro Israel Community on both side
Democratic party, that needs near new unanimous support from our community, and we have to climb over obstacle after obstacle to vote. Africanamericans are standing in long lines in the rain to vote. And we elect a party that until recently would not even break its breath to talk about the issue. In fact, was on the wrong side of the issue for way too long. Clearly, for very the Latino Community, immigration is number one. For women, choices number one. The africanamerican humidity has a thousand problems, but for us mass incarceration, where you stand on locking up an entire generation of africanamericans for something we know kids are doing right now, is the number one issue. Anybody i dont care who you are, i dont care what you did in 1963 or 2009 or yesterday if you grab a microphone and you say you are a progressive and you dont speak about this issue with some passion and some heart as ifme concern and care, it were your children under this level of threat, you cannot and should

An agreement, im signing it. I mean, i will be signing it. Im not going to say oh, gee, i want this or i want that. I will be signing it becausean i have a lot of confidence in the people in this room that you will come up with something really good. Tucker at one point the president agreed with democratic senator Dianne Feinstein of california that it would be wise to handle the question of daca separately before negotiating any meaningful reform of our broken and dysfunctional immigration system. I dont know how you would feel about this, but i would like to ask the question.
