In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“The overwhelming majority of Americans support a path to citizenship for Dreamers. So I am calling on my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to listen to their constituents. Sign the petition. Force the vote. Put these protections into law.”
Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Launches Discharge Petition to Force Vote on American Dream and Promise ActJul 20, 2026 · Official · sylviagarcia.house.gov · source
“This is not a warning about what might happen. Dreamers are losing their jobs, being detained, and being deported right now. Temporary Protected Status holders who have lived here for decades are being told to prepare to leave. Congress has the power to stop this, and there is no excuse for hiding behind Speaker Johnson while families are torn apart”
