Carbajal Statement on House Passage of Dream and Promise Act

Statement

Rep. Salud Carbajal (CA-24) issued this statement following House passage of the Dream and Promise Act :

"I am glad the Dream and Promise Act has passed the House and with bipartisan support to boot . This bill gives millions of Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders the protection and opportunities they deserve. As someone who immigrated to this country as a young child, this issue is very personal to me and I was so proud to cast my vote for this bill. When my parents brought me to this country, I was granted the opportunity to get a good education, serve my country in the military, and now serve in Congress. DACA recipients and TPS holders deserve these same opportunities to achieve their American Dream. They are our neighbors, friends, family members, teachers, medical professionals, and more. This is the only country they call home and I'm glad they are here to stay. "
