Republicans like Mike Coffman have failed DREAMers again. Vulnerable House Republicans blew past a critical deadline to get 218 signatures on a discharge petition that would have finally forced a vote on legislation to protect DREAMers. Their inexcusable failure came after many lofty promises from vulnerable House Republicans who said they would deliver the signatures necessary to provide certainty for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking, law-abiding young people who were brought here as children, and are in constant fear of deportation.
“House Republicans’ latest failure to deliver for DREAMers is made all the more inexcusable by their many empty promises that they would get the signatures and finally protect the hundreds of thousands of hardworking young people who call this country home,” said DCCC Spokesperson Javier Gamboa. “If vulnerable members like Mike Coffman can’t get the job done for these young people – while their party fully controls Washington – they have no business serving in Congress.”
