ms. clark: thank you, madam speaker. dreamers are young people who are fighting to give back to the only country they have ever known as home. they are not political bargaining chips and they didn't ask to be at the center of this immigration debate. they were brought here before they were old enough to know the difference. they grew up as our neighbors, our kids' classmates, and our friends. they are also taxpayers, teachers, medical students, and they are young people who are signing up to serve in our military. let me tell you about some of the dreamers i have met in my district. richard kim is a student at tufts university. he was brought here by his parents from korea when he was just 2. his parents sacrificed a great deal in america. even becoming homeless and living in a car for a while for the chance that richard would have a better life than they had. their son worked hard, got good grades, and ultimately was admitted into one of the best schools in the country. now he's a freshman at tufts studying internationa

so ms. clark? welcome ms. clark. good afternoon. >> sorry. hi. laura clark. we represent the people that think we need a lot more housing in this city. this is a fantastic opportunity that can not be missed. and it cannot be set back 10 years on an idea that the city college is going to start developing housing. i think that's not something that city college wants to do and it's not something that they're going to do. we started privatizing all of our affordable housing decades ago. it's managed by private nonprofits that are great private nonprofits that do a will theed -- a lot to serve low-income residents. i hope that the people here today advocating for government to do that continue to do that in a forward-looking manner. we have a lot of parking lots that could be pub lilic housing. i think we should do social housing. there's no reason to shoot ourselves in the foot for a request to do local housing at a later date. the best way to bring down carbon emissions, talking about a solar farm and other things. the thing that california needs to do to bring

ms. clark: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank our ranking member for yielding and for your incredible work on this bill. we were promised tax reform, but that's not what we're seeing in this bill. in fact, you don't have to dig far into this 429-page bill to see that it's a con, a cynical bait and switch for families at home. and when this bill was released just two weeks ago, i started getting calls from families at home wanting to know how it would affect them. so we dug into it, and i want to share just a few of those examples, but it didn't take long to see why it was developed in secret and why it's being rushed to a vote. on page 254, republicans propose getting rid of a program that helps veterans find work when they come home. 300,000 veterans have been helped by the work opportunity tax credit. the repeal of this provision to reduce taxes for the very wealthiest is a cold-hearted way to say thank you for your service. on page 113, this tax scam sends a bill to nine million households who have extremely high medic
