the gentleman from colorado, mr.
coffman.
the speaker pro tempore: the
gentleman is recognized for one
minute.
mr. coffman: i'm here today to
ask my esteemed colleagues to
stand with me in declaring, let
our dreamers serve.
let the young men and women who
were brought here as children
through no fault of their own,
serve their country.
let them serve the country that
educated them let them serve
the kibtry they love.
their ability to serve benefits
us all.
it povidse an expanded pool of
willing and capable applicants
helping to uphold and even
increase the rigorous standards
to enlist in our military.
the army recently tripled it
pool of immigrant applicants and
dreamers should be part of that
pool.
to those who claim that this is
amnesty i have a simple
message.
as a marine corps combat
veteran, i can assure you paris
island ain't amnesty.
