John, I often get asked "What do you say to elected officials who are anti-immigration?", and here's my response:

John, I'm working my hardest to move the needle on immigration reform, but we need a strong show of public support for our DACA recipients. That's why my team and I created this petition – will you add your name and show the Senate that we stand behind our Dreamers? [[link removed]]
STAND WITH DREAMERS [[link removed]]
From IL to DC, and across the US, our communities are pushing the Senate to do their part in making the DREAM Act a reality. But this resonates with me on a personal level, as well.
My mother came to this country while pregnant with me, almost sacrificing her own life to give my siblings and I a better one. Don't tell me she doesn't deserve to be here.
My husband came to this country when he was 14, and has done his best to succeed for himself and his family. Don't tell me he doesn't deserve to be here.
Earlier this year, I met a little girl, Camilla. Three-years-old, and she already had been taught to use an alias, to avoid raising suspicions about her family. Don't tell me she doesn't deserve to be here.
John, when I became the first Latina from the Midwest to be elected to Congress, I knew I had a responsibility to my community. And while I can't vote on anything until the new year, we can still stand with our Dreamers, and show them that they belong.
That's why my team and I created this petition – to show the Senate that immigration reform is one of our biggest priorities. Please, John, will you sign and show your support? [[link removed]]
