Grades suffered. But a few months after graduation, president obama created the daca program and victor successfully applied for it. Victor told me that even though he had daca, he was still too afraid to talk about his status with anyone. During the 2016 election, he talked about what losing daca would mean to him. Victor knew there would be an announcement about his future. He put his phone away and cleaned his house to distract him from what was about to happen. Eventually he watched attorney general Jeff Sessions daca announcement. Victor began to cry. In the days that followed victor began having panic attacks, sometimes as many as five to seven per day. He was afraid to get in a car because he didnt want to hurt anyone if he had a panic attack while driving. A few days later victor showed up at his first united dream event in houston. There he met others committed to fighting for him. He told me it was amazing see so many people show up in support of him in solidarity. Victor mad

Senator durbin, and so many of my colleagues who have been working on this for so long on both sides of the aisle, the leadership on both sides of the aisle. Lets get this done, lets pass the dream act, and lets never forget that we all come from is recognized. Mr. Blumenthal thank you, mr. President. Mr. President , a number of us are here today with a very simple, straightforward demand. We must act now to pass a dream act. Very simply, the honor and integrity of this chamber are at stake. Young people who would be covered under the dream act are americans in all but name. They came here as children. They grew up as americans. They go to our schools, serve in our military, and support our economy. They work hard and they give back and they believe in the American Dream. Deporting dreamers would be cruel and irrational, inhumane, and very simply repugnant to basic american values. Just think of Jonathan Gonzalez cruz. He is a College Student at Southern Connecticut State University. I
Database that searches when people attempt to purchase firearms but when the federal government doesnt do this it is reported that the air force simply through interventions, human error or somewhere failed to do it then there is nothing there to contradict the misrepresentation by the purchaser when they go to buymc it. We leave these remarks to return to live coverage of the senate here on cspan2 fficer wt objection. Mr. Mccain mr. President , in recent months the United States and Coalition Forces have achieved major gains against isis in iraq and syria. U. S. Coalition partners have liberated the capital of raqqa and syria, the pocket of hawija in Northern Iraq and just days ago the border town of alkine in western iraq.
