Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the DREAM Act and the thousands of Florida students who will benefit when we pass the DREAM Act--not just the students, but the families and businesses all across the State of Florida and our great country.

Our country is built upon a foundation of equality, liberty, and opportunity. These values apply to all, except for a small group of young people who, through no fault of their own, have been stuck in limbo and face obstacles to education and productivity.

The DREAM Act will breathe new life into their hopes and dreams and the economies of our local communities. It will breathe hope and life into the lives of these young students, these young people who only know America as their home. They want to attain a higher education and they want to serve in the Armed Forces.
