"On this day 6 years ago President Obama established #DACA. This program gave young immigrants the chance to come out of the shadows and be part of the only country they've ever called home."

"In September of last year, President Trump made the cruel decision to end #DACA. Now, 800,000 Dreamers face deportation to countries they have never known."

"I've been urging Republican leaders in Congress to do the right thing by these kids and pass the bipartisan #DreamAct. It's the only way to protect these talented students, teachers, nurses, and a whole host of others who love this country as much as anyone."

"If Speaker Ryan had the courage to bring the #DreamAct to the floor of the House it would pass on an overwhelming bipartisan vote. We cannot wait, the time to act is now #DreamActNow."

"Instead, next week he will try to pass partisan legislation that uses Dreamers as hostages to advance the President's anti-immigrant wishlist. This bill would slash *legal* immigration & fast-track deportations of women & children fleeing horrific gang & sexual violence."

"I call on all Republicans & Democrats who care about Dreamers and still believe we are a nation of immigrants to oppose this cruel legislation."
