WASHINGTON, DC – FWD.us President Todd Schulte issued the following statement today on House Speaker Paul Ryan’s comment that Dreamer legislation will be included in year end spending bill:

“We are pleased by Speaker Ryan’s announcement that it is urgent that Congress pass legislation that protects Dreamers before the end of the year. Recent polling has found that more than 80% of Americans support allowing Dreamers to earn a pathway to citizenship – including a Fox News poll showing that 79% of Republicans share this belief. The votes are there among both Democrats and Republicans in Congress to pass such legislation. Every member who stands with Dreamers should immediately cosponsor legislation like the Dream Act that would allow Dreamers to earn a pathway to citizenship, to continue to show House and Senate leadership the overwhelming support for Dreamers in Congress.”
