MEMBERS WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE
TO TAKE UP AJ ARE. FORTY SIX BY
MS GONZALEZ FLETCHER THIS IS A
CHAIR FORTY SIX CORPORATE READ.
SO WE JOINT RESOLUTION FORTY SIX
BY SOME REMEMBER GONZALEZ
FLETCHER ANOTHER'S RELATIVES
FEDERAL ZERO TOLERANCE ABOUT
IMMIGRATION POLICY.
MISS GONZALEZ FLETCHER.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER.
AJ ARE FORTY SIX IS VERY SIMPLE
AND ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO RETHINK THEIR ZERO TOLERANCE
POLICY.
WHICH HAS LED TO FAMILY
SEPARATION CHILD DETENTION AND
NOW THE PROMISE A PROLONGED
FAMILY DETENTION AT OUR BORDER.
I'M DEEPLY SADDENED THAT THIS
RESOLUTION IS EVEN NECESSARY AND
FRUSTRATED THAT WE HAVE TO
CONTINUOUSLY FIGHT OUR PRESIDENT
AND HIS ADMINISTRATION. TO
SIMPLY ACT IN A HUMANE MANNER.
WHAT WE'VE WITNESSED IN RECENT
MONTHS?
IT'S VERY PERSONAL TO MANY OF
US.
BUT IT REALLY SHOULD BE
PERSONAL.
TO ALMOST ALL OF US.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS NEARLY ALL
OF OUR ANCESTORS AT ONE POINT
WHERE IMMIGRANTS.
LET'S HEAR NATIVE AMERICAN OR
AFRICAN AMERICAN.
YOUR ANCESTORS CHOSE TO COME
HERE.
AND MANY TIMES.
THE STORY WASN'T ALWAYS SO
CLEAN.
I THINK THOSE OF US WHOSE
ANCESTORS CAME MOST RECENTLY.
MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY
OF THEIR STORIES IN A DIFFERENT
WAY.
I KNOW PERSONALLY.
HOW MY FATHER CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY?
AND I'M LIKE SO MANY OF THE
REFUGEES THAT ARE COMING TODAY
HE DIDN'T COME.
TRYING TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
HE CAME FOR A BETTER LIFE.
BUT I'LL ALSO KNOW IS COMPLEX HE
CAME RIGHT WHEN THE BRASS SADDLE
PROGRAM WAS ENDING.
THERE WAS NO REELS LINE TO STAND
DOWN.
BUT WHAT THE WE CAN A NOD.
AND GROWERS WHO DESPERATELY
NEEDED CHEAP LABOR.
FOLKS COULD CROSS THE BORDER
HERE TO WORK [inaudible]
WAS COMPLICATED.
THE LEGALITY OF IT IS
COMPLICATED.
AND EVEN TODAY WE TRY TO CLEAN
UP THE WAY IN WHICH HE GOT HERE.
PICKED OUR FOOD.
PACKED OUR FOOD.
STARTED A BUSINESS PAID TAXES
SEND HIS KIDS TO COLLEGE.
INSTILL STRUGGLES TO TRY TO
BECOME A CITIZEN.
OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN COMPLEX.
BUT SO MANY OF US WHO KNOW THOSE
STORIES OF OUR PARENTS OR
GRANDPARENTS OR MAYBE OURSELVES.
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED AT THE
BORDER TODAY AND REALIZE THAT
COULD SO EASILY BE US.
I'M HONEST ABOUT MY FAMILY.
WHO'VE COME FROM MEXICO.
ALL WITH DIFFERENT STATUS.
SOME CAME ON A VISA THAT THEY
OVERSTATED.
SOME SIMPLY CAME HERE WITHOUT
ANY DOCUMENTATION.
SOME CAME IN WHAT THEY'RE
CALLING CHAIN MIGRATION AND
MARRIED SOMEBODY.
BUT NONE OF THEM HAD A FORMAL
PASSED.
A LEGAL PATH.
NOT OF A MORE FACING ATROCITIES
OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE COMING
TODAY FROM THESE COUNTRIES WHERE
THERE TED.
WEEKLY FLEEING FOR THEIR LIFE.
MOST OF MY RELATIVES DIDN'T COME
WITH CHILDREN THAT THEY HAD TO
WORRY ABOUT BEING SEPARATED FROM
THEY CAME HERE AND HAD CHILDREN.
SO WHAT I SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
TODAY I'D BE A HYPOCRITE. TO NOT
STAND UP.
AND SAY HOW WRONG IT IS.
WHEN WE SEE CHILDREN CRYING FOR
THEIR PARENTS AND PARENTS CRYING
FOR THEIR CHILDREN?
WHEN WE SEE THE POSSIBILITY
[inaudible]
A FAMILIES.
LIVING TOGETHER INCARCERATED.
FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG.
WE HAVE TO THINK THAT WE'RE A
BETTER COUNTRY THAN NOT.
BECAUSE NO MATTER IF YOU KNOW
YOUR IMMIGRANT HISTORY. FOR THE
MAJORITY OF US WHO.
WHO SOMEHOW HAVE AN IMMIGRANT
HISTORY?
OR WHETHER YOU SIMPLY LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA THERE IS ONE THING
THAT'S CLEAR.
WE HAVE ALL BENEFITED FROM THE
HARD WORK.
OF THOSE WHO CAME HERE WITHOUT
DOCUMENTATION.
IT'S NOT A POPULAR THING TO SEE
OR TALK ABOUT.
BUT WE'VE HAD OUR CHILDREN
TAKING CARE OF WE HAD OUR
BATHROOMS CLEANED.
WE HAD OUR LANDSCAPED DONE.
WE HAD OUR TABLES BUST OUR FOOD
COOKED.
AN EVEN IF YOU WANT TO DENY ANY
OF THOSE THINGS IF YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN EATEN OUT AT A RESTAURANT
OR EATING OUT AT A RESTAURANT OR
IN A HOTEL.
HAVING SOMEONE CLEAN UP AFTER
YOU I GUARANTEE YOU THIS.
YOU HAVEN'T EATEN FOOD.
THAT WAS PICKED [inaudible]
IMPACT BY SOMEBODY WHO'S HERE
ILLEGALLY.
AND IT WAS ALWAYS IN OUR BEST
INTERESTS TO TURN A BLIND EYE
BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE.
SO WE CAN'T ON ONE HAND.
HAVE THE FRUITS OF THE LABOR OF
HARD WORKING FOLKS IN THE STATE.
AND ON THE OTHER HAND LOOK AT
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT OUR BORDER.
THAT IT JUSTIFIES HUMANITY AND
NOT STAND UP AND SAY.
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH US
THIRTY SECONDS WHAT WE CAN'T
HAVE AN OPEN BORDER.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
WE DO HAVE TO HAVE RULES.
BUT THOSE RULES CAN TREAT PEOPLE
IN A MORE HUMANE WAY.
AND OUR IMMIGRATION POLICIES CAN
BE FIXED WE NEED COMPREHENSIVE
IMMIGRATION REFORM.
WE NEED TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE
PEOPLE.
NOT ANIMALS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN EYE ON
THIS RESOLUTION.
DOCUMENTS GONZALEZ FLETCHER MS
RUBIO YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
MISTER SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RISE TODAY AND SPEAK IN FAVOR OF
THE DAY ARE.
FORTY SIX I WAS SIXTH WHEN I WAS
DEPORTED. TO WHAT IS MEXICO.
I DO ME NO QUIET IS IS ONE OF
THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN THE
WORLD.
MY FATHER HAD BEEN PART OF THE
BETH HAD A PROGRAM.
WHEN IT ENDED HE CONTINUED TO
COME TO THIS COUNTRY WITH US TO
WORK AND TO KEEP US SAFE?
BUT DAVID DETAINED MY DAD.
HE HAD BEEN WORKING IN
CONSTRUCTION.
WE WERE UP IN A PARK IN WINNIE
TEXAS.
AND I REMEMBER MEN IN UNIFORM.
TALKING WITH HIM.
I WAS SCARED.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER OUR THINGS
BEFORE SENDING US BACK TO WHAT
IT. FOR A LONG TIME.
I DIDN'T THINK I WAS AFFECTED AT
ALL [inaudible]
OR MUCH.
BY THAT EXPERIENCE.
BUT BUILT FRIGHTENING MEMORIES.
CAME RUSHING BACK.
AS I WATCH IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
BEING SEPARATED AND CHILDREN
CAGED.
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ME.
MY SISTERS AND MY BROTHERS.
I THOUGHT OF MY OWN TWO
CHILDREN.
WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN THEM?
NOT KNOWING.
IF THEY WERE COLD OR HUNGRY.
OR IN DANGER.
AND KNOWING THAT A I WAS UNABLE
TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THIS IS HORRIFYING AND THEN
HUMANE.
MY PARENTS ONLY WANTED A BETTER
LIFE FOR US [inaudible]
FORTUNATELY.
WE WERE ABLE TO RETURN.
AND I WAS ABLE TO BECOME A
CITIZEN.
MY LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY. FOR
THIS GIFT PROMPTED ME TO RUN.
FOR ELECTED OFFICE.
MY FAMILY STORY.
IS THE STORY OF MILLIONS HAVE
COME HERE.
SEEKING FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY.
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD HAVE
ALWAYS ADMIRED AMERICA. FOR ITS
COMPASSION AND OPENNESS TO
EMIGRATE TO IMMIGRANTS.
WHO WANT TO WORK HARD?
AND STRIVE FOR THEIR DREAMS
[inaudible]
BUT TODAY.
THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HAS
DECIDED TO DEMONIZED IMMIGRANTS.
AND SEPARATE CHILDREN FROM THEIR
PARENTS.
PARENTS FLEEING POVERTY AND
VIOLENCE ELSEWHERE. FOR A BETTER
LIFE ARE NOW SIMPLY JUST TRYING
TO REUNITE WITH THEIR SONS AND
DAUGHTERS.
THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WILL BE
TRAUMATIZED FOR EVER.
THIS IS WRONG.
RESPONSIBLE.
AND GOES AGAINST THE IDEALS.
OF A GREAT NATION BUILT BY
IMMIGRANTS.
LET US REMEMBER WHO WE ARE
[inaudible]
AMERICA.
IS AND ALWAYS.
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BEACON OF
HOPE.
TO THE WORLD.
LET US RETURN TO BASE IDEAL AND
AND THE ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
NOW.
ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY.
THE LATINO CAUCUS.
THE WOMAN'S CAUCUS I URGE YOUR
AYE VOTE ON HR.
FORTY SIX THANK YOU MISS RUBIO.
TO GIPSON YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE ALSO
IN SUPPORT.
OF THIS AG ARE FORTY SIX AN URGE
NUMBER FORTY FIVE IN HIS
ADMINISTRATION TO MERELY.
CEASE AND DESIST IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE ZERO TOLERANCE FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION POLICY.
THIS CURRENT POLICY IS IN HUMANE
AND ALSO ITS SICKENS ME.
AS A PARENT.
IT SADDENS ME.
THAT CHILDREN ARE STRIPPED AWAY.
FROM THEIR FAMILIES FROM THEIR
PARENTS.
JUST TO SEEK ASYLUM.
I CANNOT IMAGINE.
IF MY OWN CHILDREN.
WAS STRIPPED AWAY FROM ME
[inaudible]
THE SITUATION.
THE SADNESS THE FEAR NOT ONLY
FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR MY CHILDREN
AS WELL. TO PUNISH ARE THESE
CHILDREN.
IS IN HUMANE.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
AND IS NOT AMERICAN.
WE DON'T DO THIS WE'RE BETTER
THAN THIS.
AND I WANT TO REMIND --
MOST OF US.
THAT THIS IS NOT NO THIS IS NOT
UNUSUAL.
A EVEN THOUGH I'VE READ ABOUT IT
AND PEOPLE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.
A I CAN ONLY [inaudible]
IMAGINE [inaudible]
WHAT [inaudible]
AFRICANS [inaudible]
WENT THROUGH.
NOT ONLY TO BE PULLED FROM THEIR
COUNTRY.
BUT ALSO BEING PLACED.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
AND THEN TO HAVE THE FATHER SOLD
OFF.
AND THE MOTHER SOLD OFF AND ALSO
THE CHILDREN SEPARATED
[inaudible]
THE FEAR.
THAT THAT COSTS AND SOME OF
THESE CHILDREN WILL NEVER.
BE REUNITED.
WITH THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED
WITH THIS POLICY.
AND SO WHEN I THINK THE WOMAN
FROM SAN DIEGO THOSE WHO'VE
SPOKEN.
AND CERTAINLY ASK A RESOUNDING
AYE VOTE.
ON AJ ARE.
FORTY SIX NAMES GIPSON MISS
QUIRK SILVA YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER A FEW
WEEKS AGO I STOOD TO SPEAK ON ON
THIS POLICY AND EVEN A FEW WEEKS
AGO WE HAD LITTLE INDICATION.
OF SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT
WE HAVE RECEIVED A WHICH HAS
BEEN SO.
HORRIFYING IN STARTLING THAT I
THINK MANY OF US HAVE HIGH I HAD
A HARD TIME PROCESSING AT US
THIS LAST WEEK AND THERE WERE
THOUSANDS THAT MARCHED ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
BASICALLY SAYING WE NEED TO KEEP
FAMILIES TOGETHER THIS AGAIN IS
NOT A REPUBLICAN DEMOCRAT ISSUE.
THIS IS AN AMERICAN ISSUE.
AND I STAND AGAIN AS A MOTHER IN
AS AN EDUCATOR.
TO TRY TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF THE
US AND I KNOW WE HAVE THE
DADDIES CAUCUS HERE OF COURSE
THE MOMMIES COCCUS AND
GRANDMOTHERS AND GRAHAM.
LAWYERS AND AID IN I JUST THE
PICTURE I PAINTED LEARNING I
HAVE FOUR OF MY OWN GROWING
CHILDREN.
AND I THINK ABOUT ONE OF MY
DAUGHTERS WHO I I FEEL LIKE IT
AND WHEN I'D PUT HER TO SLEEP I
HAD TO CAREFULLY PUT HER IN THE
CRIB.
I HAVE WITH HER BLANKET AFTER
SHE WAS ASLEEP.
OTHERWISE YOU'D WAKE UP IN CRY
AND CRY AND I THINK OF ALL OF
THE WAYS MOTHERS AND FATHERS PUT
THEIR KIDS TO SLEEP. FOR MANY OF
I'M THERE'S A SPECIAL TOY
THERE'S MUSIC OR WHATEVER IT IS
THEY USE AND IT WITHIN A MOMENT
TO BE TORN AWAY FROM YOUR MOTHER
OR FATHER OR CAREGIVER.
AND BE LEFT ALONE WITHOUT ALL OF
WITHOUT THOSE THINGS THAT SU TH
CHILDREN.
I ALSO THINK ABOUT AS KIDS GET
OLDER FOR SO MANY PARENTS RIGHT
HERE IN THIS ROOM --
WHEN THEY GET TO SIXTH GRADE
MANY OF THEM GO OFF TO FOR THE
FIRST TIME TO CAMP?
AND THAT'S A VERY BIG DEAL ON
THEIR BAGS ARE PACKED IN YET
PARENTS ARE NERVOUS IN LETTERS
ARE WRITTEN AND AND TEARS.
AND YET THEY KNOW THEIR PARENTS
ARE COMING BACK IN THE GOING TO
SEE A MENU AND IT'S VERY
EMOTIONAL.
BUT AGAIN TO THINK ABOUT HAVING
A CHILD RIPPED AWAY FROM YOU AND
NOT KNOW IF YOU'RE EVER GOING TO
SEE HIM AGAIN.
PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE YOUNG
BABIES WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
TO SPEAK YET HOPING THAT MAYBE
THEY DID TAKE OF I FINGERPRINT
SO THEY COULD BEREUNITED.
AND THEN AGAIN NOW TO SEE SOME
OF THOSE REUNIONS AND JUST SEE
THE SOBBING AND SOBBING AND NO
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
SO WHICHEVER WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT
A POLICY WE KNOW THAT THIS
POLICY IS NOT RIGHT AND WE HAVE
TO DIG DEEP AND WE HAVE TO LOOK
WITHIN OUR HEARTS TO SAY THAT WE
CAN DO BETTER.
WE CAN FIX WHAT IS NOT WRONG
URGE YOUR NAME IS QUIRK SILVA.
MR THURMAN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
HR FORTY SIX I THINK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO FOR HER
LEADERSHIP AND BRING IT FORWARD.
AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE
SPOKEN WILL SPEAK ON THIS MATTER
TODAY.
AND I ECHO --
THE SENTIMENTS OF THOSE WHO HAVE
SPOKEN THAT WE SHOULD NEVER.
A SEPARATE OUR FAMILIES I'M IN
AND I RISE WHILE THE
CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ARE NOT WHAT I
WOULD HOPE.
I I FEEL HONORED TO BE ABLE TO
STAND ON THIS FLOOR.
AND BILL TO SPEAK ON THIS
RESOLUTION --
ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE --
ALL OF MY AUNTS AND UNCLES AND
MY GRANDPARENTS WE'RE IMMIGRANTS
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
ARE BORN SOMEPLACE ELSE COMING
TO THIS COUNTRY IN HOPES OF
CREATING A BETTER LIFE MY
GRANDMOTHER CAME HERE.
AND SHE ESSENTIALLY AS A
TEENAGER I CLEAN PEOPLE'S
BATHROOMS --
MY AUNTIES --
MANY OF THEM WERE LOW PAID --
HEALTH CARE ASSISTANCE WHO WOULD
BAY SOMEONE OR CHANGED NOW MORE
TEND TO WHATEVER --
THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS MIGHT BE.
AND WHILE MY FAMILY.
WAS NEVER SPLIT UP BECAUSE OF
DEPORTATION OR IMMIGRATION
CONSEQUENCES UP MY HEART GOES
OUT TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO HAVE
BEEN SEPARATED FROM THEIR
CHILDREN.
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET
SCIENTIST TO KNOW THAT ANY
SEPARATION FROM A CHILD CAN BE
DEVASTATING YOU CAN HAVE
LIFELONG IMPACTS FOR THEM.
I I NOTICED LIKE TO BE SEPARATED
FROM FAMILY THOUGH WHILE IT WAS
NOT RELATED TO IMMIGRATION --
MANY OF YOU KNOW ALTHOUGH I LOST
MY FAMILY AND AT A VERY EARLY
AGE -- WHEN
I WAS SIX YEARS OLD I LOST MY
MOTHER TO CANCER MY FATHER WAS
NOT IN MY LIFE?
AND I GOT SENT [inaudible] TO
FOR AND I DO NOT SEE MOST OF MY
SIBLINGS FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS.
NOW.
FORTUNATE FOR ME THE PERSON WHO
I WAS SENT TO LIVE WITH WAS A
FAMILY MEMBER --
ALBEIT A COUSIN WHO I NEVER MET
TO I SHOWED UP ON HER DOORSTEP
IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT.
IT WAS DIFFICULT AS A CHILD TO
NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR MOTHER
IS NOT COMING BACK TO NOT
UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE TO NOT
SEE A FAMILIAR FACE.
AND I SAY THAT AND LIFT THAT UP
TO ASK YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT
THOSE IMPACTS MUST BE FOR THE
NINE MONTH THE YEAR OLD FOR THE
ONE YEAR OLD FOR A CHILD OF ANY
AGE.
WHO IS SEPARATED FROM HIS OR HER
MOTHER OR FATHER OR FROM THEIR
SYMBOL FROM THEIR SIBLINGS OR
FROM SIMILAR SURROUNDINGS?
WHAT'S EQUALLY TROUBLING TO ME.
IS THAT WHILE VIS DEVASTATING
POLICIES HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT
[inaudible]
MANY [inaudible]
COMPANIES HAVE PROFITED
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THIS WORK IN
JUST A SHORT PETER TIME WE
SHOULD PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON THAT.
UP MANY OF THE PRIVATE PRISONS
I'M HAVE PUT PROFITS OVER WHAT I
WOULD SAY OUR AMERICAN VALUES
AND PRINCIPLES [inaudible]
FAMILY
IN THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
ALLOWED FOR THIS DIVISIVE IN
CRUEL POLICY TO BECOME A PROFIT.
VENTURE FOR MANY CALIFORNIA HAS
THE SECOND HIGHEST NUMBER OF
IMMIGRATION DETENTION FACILITIES
IN THE COUNTRY.
ALMOST HALF OF THE STATE'S
DETENTION FACILITIES ARE
OPERATED BY PRIVATE COMPANIES TO
DETAIN IMMIGRANT CHILDREN FROM
THROUGHOUT.
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY THESE COMPANIES HOUSE
NEARLY 75% OF CALIFORNIA
DETAINEES IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
AND 71% OF DETAINEES NATION
WIDE.
AND IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN THESE
PRIVATE PRISON COMPANIES HOUSING
PROFIT OFF OF OVER THREE
THOUSAND IMMIGRANT DETAINEES IN
CALIFORNIA ONE COMPANY ALONE
GTO.
COLLECTED APPROXIMATELY TWO
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS A DAY OF TAXPAYER MONEY.
NATIONALLY THE SAME COMPANY
RECEIVES MORE MONEY FOR
IMMIGRATION DETENTION THAN ANY
OTHER ICE CONTRACTOR WHILE THEIR
FACILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HAVE BEEN CITED FOR SOME OF THE
MOST INHUMANE.
PRACTICES ANOTHER COMPANY COURSE
CIVIC THE LARGEST FOR PROFIT
PRISON COMPANY WAS CONTRACTED
FOR JUST UNDER A HUNDRED THIRTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. FOR ICE
RELATED SERVICES AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN AND THIS YEAR
CALIFORNIA WILL SPEND ONE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION
DOLLARS ON THESE COMPANIES FOR
VARIOUS SERVICES INCLUDING
HOUSING CALIFORNIA INMATES.
IN AND OUT OF THE STATE.
WE SHOULD STAND UP AS
CALIFORNIANS AS AS AMERICANS AND
SAY.
THAT WE REALLY CARE ABOUT FAMILY
VALUES THAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE
TRADITION OF THIS STATE.
WE HAVE INVESTED.
IN MAKING IT EASIER FOR
NATURALIZATION WE SHOULD STAND
UP AND BE LEADERS FOR OUR NATION
AND SAY IT'S TIME TO CREATE.
A RESPONSIBLE IMMIGRATION
PLATFORM THAT CREATES A CITIZEN
OF A PATHWAY TOWARD CITIZENSHIP.
SHE SAID WE VALUE FAMILIES AND
KEEPING THEM TOGETHER NO MATTER
THE CIRCUMSTANCES UPON WHICH
THAT THEY ARRIVE AND WE SHOULD
SAY THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
ALLOW PROFIT SYRIAN. TO BENEFIT
THOSE WHO WOULD STAND TO
SEPARATE COMPANIES SEPARATE
CHILDREN SO THAT THEIR COMPANIES
CAN PROFIT.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
ON AG ARE.
FORTY SIX THANK YOU MISTER
AUTHORED THIS CARILLO.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS WHEN I THINK OF THE WORD
TRADITION.
IT USUALLY IMPLIES SCRIPT
THINKS.
HOLIDAY TRADITIONS CHRISTMAS
THANKSGIVING.
BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF THE
UNITED STATES WHEN IT COMES TO
THE SEPARATION OF FAMILIES THIS
HAS BEEN A TRADITION.
OF THE UNITED STATES A TRADITION
TO SEPARATE CHILDREN FROM THEIR
PARENTS DURING SLAVERY A
TRADITION.
A SEPARATE NATIVE AMERICAN
CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS A
TRADITION.
A SEPARATE JAPANESE AMERICAN
KIDS ONE JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE
PUTTING CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND
NOW A TRADITION THAT CONTINUES.
WITH THE SEPARATION OF
UNDOCUMENTED CHILDREN INTO THIS
COUNTRY BEING PUT IN CAGES.
SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS.
THERE IS A BUSINESS TRADITION
BUT THE UNITED STATES HAS.
A BUSINESS OF SLAVERY.
BUSINESS OF BOARDING SCHOOLS FOR
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILDREN.
BUSINESS FOR CONCENTRATION CAMPS
AND NOW A BUSINESS FOR DETENTION
CENTER.
THE DIFFERENCE NOW.
IS THAT THE WORLD IN WHICH WE
LIVE AND IS TRANSPARENT.
WHEN WE GET TO HOLD IT
ACCOUNTABLE?
WE HAVE THE INFORMATION AT OUR
FINGERTIPS.
WE UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THAT THIS
IS NOT NEW.
AND THAT IT WILL CONTINUE.
AND THAT IS UP TO US.
DECIDE WHAT KIND A STATE AND
WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY.
WE WANT TO LEAD IN HALF.
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION.
BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH IN WHAT WE'RE
DOING.
AND HOW WE PLAN ON REUNITING
OVER.
TWO THOUSAND IMMIGRANT CHILDREN
WHO HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM
THEIR FAMILIES.%
MANY OF WHOM.
DON'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH IN FACT
MANY OF WHOM ARE INDIGENOUS. TO
CENTRAL AMERICA.
MANY OF WHOM REQUIRE A
TRANSLATOR FOR THE MESS SO
AMERICAN INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE.
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
HEARING IN THE NEWS BUT IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED.
I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WHEN I
WAS.
FIVE MANY OF YOU KNOW MY STORY
I'VE SHARED IT ON THIS FLOOR.
MY FAMILY IN I WORD SEEKING
REFUGE ASYLUM WHICH IS NOT
ILLEGAL IN FACT THAT IS THE VERY
DEFINITION OF THE LAW.
OF THESE UNITED STATES THAT YOU
CAN'T COME AND SEEK ASYLUM THANK
YOU CAN COME AND SEEK REFUGE.
WE LEFT A CIVIL WAR THAT LASTED
TWELVE YEARS.
MANY OF THE CHILDREN THAT ARE
LEAVING CENTRAL AMERICAN
COUNTRIES NOW OUR LATIN AMERICAN
COUNTRIES NOW.
ARE LEAVING.
IN THOSE SAME CONDITIONS.
AND THESE PARENTS THESE MOTHERS
AND FATHERS SIX CHILDREN WHO
WITH EVERYTHING.
TRY TO START ANY LIKE TO HAVE A
CHANCE OF LIFE.
OUR THE BEST TYPE AMERICANS THAT
WE CAN HAVE.
THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE
THAT WE SHOULD BE EMBRACING AS A
COUNTRY.
WHAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS OUR
NATION IS A MORAL?
IT'S UNLAWFUL IT'S FUN JUST IT
IS NOT ABOUT FREEDOM.
IT IS NOT ABOUT JUSTICE.
THIS IS ABOUT HEAT IT IS ABOUT
BUSINESS.
IN IS ABOUT PUTTING PEOPLE
BEHIND BARS.
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
TO I COMMEND MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SAN DIEGO FOR PUTTING THIS
RESOLUTION FORWARD AND I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE VOTE
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISS CARILLO
[inaudible]
MR GABRIEL.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER I RISE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE JEWISH
CAUCUS IN SUPPORT OF AJ ARE.
FORTY SIX WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO FOR
BRINGING FOR THIS IMPORTANT
RESOLUTION.
SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE VALUES OF
COMPASSION AND DECENCY THAT WE
JUST CALIFORNIANS HOLD DEAR.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK AND
RECOGNIZE OUR TOURNEY GENERAL
HAVE YOUR BUT SARAH AND HIS
STAFF FOR THE LITIGATION THEY
HAVE BROUGHT CHALLENGING THE
ADMINISTRATION'S.
IMMORAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY AND FOR
THEIR CONTINUED EFFORTS TO
DEFEND OUR CALIFORNIA VALUES.
IN ADDITION TO BEING CONTRARY TO
CALIFORNIA VALUES THE SEPARATION
OF FAMILIES IS ALSO DEEPLY
ANTITHETICAL TO JEWISH VALUES.
AND WITH PERMISSION I'D LIKE TO
READ FROM A LETTER THAT WAS SENT
BY A COALITION OF TWENTY SEVEN
NATIONAL JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS POLICY
[inaudible]
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
WE WRITE TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG
OPPOSITION TO THE RECENTLY
EXPANDED ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
THAT INCLUDES SEPARATING
CHILDREN FROM THEIR MIGRANT
PARENTS WHEN THEY CROSS THE
BORDER.
THIS POLICY UNDERMINES THE
VALUES OF OUR NATION AND
JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY AND
WELLBEING OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE.
AS JEWS WE UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT
OF BEING AN IMMIGRANT FLEEING
VIOLENCE AND OPPRESSION.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED
STATES IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS
AND HOW WE TREAT THE STRANGER
REFLECTS ON THE MORAL VALUES AND
IDEALS OF THIS NATION.
MANY OF THESE MIGRANT FAMILIES
ARE SEEKING ASYLUM IN THE UNITED
STATES TO ESCAPE VIOLENCE IN
CENTRAL AMERICA.
TAKING CHILDREN AWAY FROM THEIR
FAMILIES IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
SUCH PRACTICES INFLICT
UNNECESSARY TRAUMA ON PARENTS
AND CHILDREN.
MANY OF WHOM HAVE ALREADY
SUFFERED TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES.
THIS ADDED TRAUMA IT NEGATIVELY
IMPACTS PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
HEALTH.
PRECLUDING INCREASING THE RISK
OF EARLY DEATH.
OUR JEWISH FAITH DEMANDS US.
DEMANDS OF US CONCERNED FOR THE
STRANGER IN OUR MASTS.
OUR OWN PEOPLE'S HISTORY A
STRANGER'S REMINDS US OF THE
MANY STRUGGLES FACED BY
IMMIGRANTS TODAY AND COMPELS OUR
COMMITMENT TO AN IMMIGRATION
SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY.
THAT IS COMPASSIONATE AND JOBST.
WE URGE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY
RESCINDED ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
AND UPHOLD HE VALUES OF FAMILY
UNITY AND JUSTICE ON WHICH OUR
NATION WAS BUILT.
SHORT FOR A COMMUNITY IT WHERE
THERE IS OFTEN DEBATE ON
CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES.
THERE IS BROAD CONSENSUS IN THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY THAT THE ZERO
TOLERANCE POLICY IS CONTRARY TO
OUR NATION'S HIGHEST TRADITIONS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU MISS GABRIEL MS RACE
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS.
TODAY I RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF AJ ARE.
FORTY SIX WHICH CONDEMNS A
FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY OF
SEPARATING FAMILIES THROUGH THE
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY.
POOR NATION WHICH QUITE
LITERALLY HAS BEEN BUILT ON THE
BACKS OF IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY WITH
IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS HAS BEEN
TUMULTUOUS [inaudible]
AT BEST.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO FIGHT AGAINST
POLICIES.
CLEARLY AND UNABASHEDLY HAVE NO
REGARD FOR BASIC HUMANITY.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THE TYPE OF IN
HUMANE.
SCARRING TREATMENT OF
INDIVIDUALS TO CONTINUE TO BE
THE REIGNING NARRATIVE OF
AMERICAN HISTORY.
IN THE RECENT COURT RULING WHICH
MANDATED THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN YOUNGER
CHILDREN TO THEIR PARENTS.
THE JUDGE NOTED THAT PRESENTLY.
MIGRANT CHILDREN ARE NOT EVEN
ACCOUNTED FOR WITH THE SAME
EFFICIENCY INACCURACY.
HAS PROPERTY WOULD BE.
HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THE
SEPARATION OF CHILDREN FROM
THEIR PARENTS?
WITH VIRTUALLY NO SYSTEM TO
ENSURE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR
WHEREABOUTS.
WELL YOU CAN TRACK A PIECE OF
FURNITURE YOU'VE ORDERED ON
AMAZON ACROSS BORDERS AND
DELIVERY SYSTEMS.
I AM PLOY YOU MY COLLEAGUES.
WITH THIS GREAT HONOR WE SHARE
REPRESENTING OUR CONSTITUENCIES.
TO THINK CRITICALLY OF WHERE WE
WILL STAND AND WHAT WE WILL BEAT
WHAT WE ARE.
AND WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THIS
MOMENT OF HISTORY.
BECAUSE GENERATIONS DOWN THE
LINE WILL REMEMBER.
THOSE WHO ALLOWED AN ADVOCATE
FOR THE SEPARATION OF CHILDREN
FROM THEIR MOTHERS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION.
AND FOR CONTINUED EFFORTS TO
FIGHT FOR A HOLISTIC REFORM TO
WORK IN HUMANE IMMIGRATION
POLICY [inaudible]
MISTER BONTA YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES I RISE ON BEHALF OF
THE ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS AND AS A
PROUD.
CO AUTHOR IN SUPPORT OF AJ ARE.
FORTY SIX ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
IS INHUMANE IT'S IMMORAL AND IT
DOES NOT REPRESENT WHO WE ARE.
OR WHO SHOULD BE.
FIRST IT SEPARATED CHILDREN.
FROM THEIR PARENTS THEN.
ONLY AFTER NATIONAL.
PUBLIC OUTRAGE THE
ADMINISTRATION BEGAN TO
INCARCERATE FAMILIES TOGETHER.
MEMBERS WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE
WE SAW THIS WHEN JAPANESE
AMERICAN FAMILIES.
WHO HAD EVERY RIGHT TO LIVE
FREELY IN OUR COUNTRY?
WERE INCARCERATED DURING WORLD
WAR.
TWO THESE FAMILIES COMING TO OUR
BORDERS ALSO HAVE A RIGHT TO BE
HERE AS THEIR CASES. FOR ASYLUM
ARE BEING HURT.
THIS IS ONLY THE LATEST ACTION
BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO
CREATE FEAR.
CHAOS AND DRAMA IN OUR
IMMIGRANT.
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE
IN THE NATION [inaudible]
SCHOOL.
AND IS REPREHENSIBLE AND IT MUST
STOP IMMEDIATELY.
AS WE SAW THE HUNDREDS OF
NATIONWIDE MARCHES AND RALLIES
THIS PAST SATURDAY MANY OF YOU
WERE OUT THEM.
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
AMERICANS ARE CALLING ON THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. TO
ELIMINATE ITS ZERO TOLERANCE
POLICY AND TO TREAT THOSE
SEEKING SAFETY WITHIN OUR
BORDERS.
WITH DIGNITY AND WITH COMPASSION
I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR VOTE
FOR AJ ARE.
FORTY SIX THANK YOU MISTER BONTA
MISTER CHIU.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
I THINK YOU MISTER CHAIRS ARE
MEMBERS AND SANK THOUGHT CALLING
FROM OUTSIDE EAGLE PROGRAMMING
OF THOSE VERY IMPORTANT.
ISSUES ARE ON THE FLOOR --
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT A
VERY POPULAR TERM.
A CHAIN MIGRATION WAS ACTUALLY
CALLED FAMILY YOUR REUNIFICATION
AND THAT'S HOW I BROUGHT MY WIFE
WILL FORTY TWO TWO YEARS PUTTING
MY TO STATE.
AND OUT ALL OVER THE WEEKEND I
KNOW TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA
AND I ATTENDED A RALLY IN SAN
JOSE.
I TELL YOU I WAS BROUGH REALLY
REALLY HEARTENED TO SEE SO MANY
YOUNG CHILDREN.
YOU KNOW INFANT.
YOU KNOW TO TO THE ACCOUNT GOES
AROUND THE AYE INITIALLY I FEEL
KIND OF GUILTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T
HAVE MY MY MY THREE YEAR OLD
GRANDCHILDREN.
BUT A FIVE YEAR OLD THREE OH
GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME BUT THEN I
CAN REALLY REALLY MAD.
WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY WE'RE
LOOKING AT?
WELL KIDS YOU KNOW.
A TWO MONTHS OWE YOU DON'T CAMP
BEDDING BLOCK HOUSE WHO
PARTICIPATE IN THE RALLY.
BUT THEN I REALIZED THE
MASSACHUSETTS VERY VERY
IMPORTANT WE NEED TO DELIVER TO
THOSE.
CAMPS THAT ARE LOCKING PAGERS
THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE SO I
ENCOURAGE YOU AYE AYE VOTE ON
THIS RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHIU
[inaudible]
SURE CALDERON.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS -- I
READ SOMETHING THIS MORNING --
THAT MADE ME FEEL REAL TERRIBLE
--
EARLIER A SEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL
WAS REUNITED WITH HER MOTHER.
AFTER NEARLY NEARLY TWO MONTHS
IN AN IMMIGRATION.
DETENTION CENTER.
AND THE MOMS MESSAGE TO OTHERS
MOTHERS OTHER MOTHERS WAS THIS
MISTER SPEAKER PERMISSION TO
READ [inaudible]
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
IF YOU'RE THINKING OF CLAIMING
ASYLUM.
FIND ANOTHER COUNTRY.
THE LAWS HERE HARSH.
AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE HEARTS.
THAT TO ME COULDN'T SPEAK.
LESS TO MY MY UNDERSTANDING OF
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FROM THE
GREATEST COUNTRY?
IN THE WORLD. TO BE THE GREATEST
COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO CARING
AND LOVING.
OTHER PEOPLE AND BEING ABLE TO
SYMPATHIZE WITH THOSE AN
UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE TRYING
TO FLEE TO SAVE THE LIVES.
AND THE LIVES OF THEIR KIDS AND
I WAS ACTUALLY DISCUSSING THIS
LAST NIGHT WITH MY WIFE --
BECAUSE IT'S TAKEN US AWHILE BUT
WHEN THE SHOWS THAT WE WATCHES
HANDMAID'S TALE AND AND AND
WE'VE WE'VE MADE YOU KNOW WE'VE
HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT.
AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER ON THIS
FLOOR I'M MAYBE POTENTIAL
PARALLELS BUT ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WAS DIFFICULT WAS THAT IN
THIS LAST EPISODE WAS UP EPISODE
ELEVEN IT'S ENOUGH THICKNESS
WHILE BECAUSE OF HOW HEAVY THE
SHOW IS --
WAS THE MAIN AUTHOR OF THE MAIN
CHARACTER WAS GOT A MOMENT TO
SEE HER CHILD WHO HAD SHE HAD
BEEN TURNED OUT TORN AWAY FROM.
AND IN THAT MOMENT THE CHILD
RECOGNIZE THAT IT WAS HER MOTHER
BUT WAS STILL SCARED OF HER
MOTHER -- IT
SEEMS BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT SHE
WASN'T SCARED OF HER MOTHER.
SHE WAS UPSET WITH HER MOTHER
AND MESSAGE WAS WHY DIDN'T YOU
FIGHT HARDER.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY HARDER TO
FIND THE TO COME AFTER ME TO
BRING ME BACK TO YOU INTO BACK
TO DAD AND IT WAS BEYOND HER
CONTROL SHE'S A SLAVE?
IT WAS BEYOND HER CONTROL BUT
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE NOW PUTTING
THESE KIDS.
ARE IN THE POSITION THAT WE'RE
PUTTING THEM IN AND WE HAVE TO
THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE THIS ISN'T ABOUT BEING A
DEMOCRAT THIS ISN'T ABOUT BEING
A REPUBLICAN.
IT'S ABOUT BEING US AS HUMAN
BEINGS AS AMERICANS AND WHAT WE
STAND FOR AND WHAT IS VALUABLE
TO US AND WHETHER WE NOT WE WE
VALUE.
OUR HUMAN VALUES OR NOT AND I
THINK WHAT'S UNFORTUNATE ABOUT A
LOT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS THAT
IT BECOMES ABOUT DEMOCRAT VERSUS
REPUBLICAN.
AND THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE
A BALLOT SHOULD BE ABOUT WHO WE
ARE.
AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IS RIGHT AS
INDIVIDUALS AS PARENTS AS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS SO ON AND
SO FORTH BECAUSE I DON'T CARE IF
SOMEBODY IS A DIFFERENT
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY THAN ME.
I BELIEVE IN SOMEBODY BECAUSE
THEY ARE AMERICAN I KNOW THAT
DEEP DOWN INSIDE OF A WE MAY
DISAGREE POLITICALLY WE STILL
SHARE THE SAME VALUES AS TO WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN.
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS RESOLUTION
IS ALL ABOUT IT'S ABOUT RESIDENT
IT'S ABOUT SHOWING THAT OUR
VOICE AS THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AS A REALLY
IMPORTANT STATE TO THIS.
NATIONAL ECONOMY AND TO THIS
NATION.
THAT WE DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS
POLICY THAT IS INHUMANE BECAUSE
I'VE HEARD DISTANT RATIONALES US
WHY THIS POLICY EXISTS EITHER
IT'S BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE USED
AS LEVERAGE TO TRY TO GET SOME
I'M I'M AT THE OTHER POLITICAL
SIDE TO DO SOMETHING THAT THEY
WANT -- OR
ITS TO DETER OTHER PEOPLE FROM
COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY.
BOTH AT RATIONALIZATIONS ARE IN
HUMANE BOTH ARE WRONG.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS
NEEDS TO BE A PARTISAN ISSUE
THIS JUST NEEDS TO BE ABOUT AN
ISSUE ARE WERE INDIVIDUALS NOT
LEGISLATORS THAT ARE LABELED
WITH THE DEER ON OUR THAT'S NOT
WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT WHERE
PEOPLE AND THAT WE CARE ABOUT
OTHER PEOPLE FROM OTHER PLACES
BECAUSE THAT SHOULD MATTER TO US
BECAUSE IT HAS MATTER TO US
THATS WHY WERE THE GREATEST
NATION IN THE WORLD BECAUSE WE
OUR NATION OF IMMIGRANTS AND WE
SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT.
SO I REALLY THINK THE AUTHOR UP
FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN BRINGING
THIS FORWARD AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU MISTER CALDERON MISTER
COOLEY.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
COLLEAGUES I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS RESOLUTION.
AND ON THIS DAY.
I THINK OF THE IMAGE.
SET BY JOHN WINTHROP.
WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE FLAG
SHIP ARBELLA [inaudible] FOR THE
GROUP OF COLONISTS RICHER
COLORS.
LOOKING TO ESTABLISH THE
MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY
[inaudible]
STEAM.
THIRTY AND HE CHALLENGES
COMPANIONS ON THAT SHIP. TO SEE
WHAT THEY WERE DOING AS
ESTABLISHING A CITY SET ON THE
HILL.
THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE
LOOKING AT AND THIS IMAGE OF THE
UNITED STATES IS A CITY SET ON
THE HILL.
IS ONE HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY
PICKED UP.
JOHN KENNEDY SPOKE OF IT WHEN HE
VISIT MASSACHUSETTS DURING HIS
PRESIDENCY.
BUT OFTEN TIMES [inaudible]
RONALD REAGAN.
OR GOVERNOR OR PRESIDENT SPOKE
OF IT.
AND PERMISSION TO READ.
THIS WAS HIS STATEMENTS IN HIS
FINAL ADDRESS TO THE NATION
[inaudible]
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
JANUARY ELEVENTH [inaudible]
NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE RONALD
REAGAN.
I'VE SPOKEN OF THE SHINING CITY
ALL MY POLITICAL LIFE.
BUT I DON'T NOR FAVOR QUITE
COMMUNICATED WHAT I SAW WHEN I
SAID IT.
BUT IN MY MIND IT WAS A TALL
PROUD CITY.
BUILT ON ROCK STRONG WRITTEN
NOTIONS.
WHEN SWEPT GOD BLESSED AND
TEEMING WITH PEOPLE OF ALL
KINDS?
LIVING IN HARMONY AND PEACE.
A CITY WITH REPORTS THAT HUMMED
WITH COMMERCE AND CREATIVITY.
AND IF THERE HAD TO BE CITY
WALLS.
THE WALLS HAD DOORS AND THE
DOORS WERE OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A
WILLING HEART TO GET HERE.
THAT'S HOW I SAW.
AND I SEE IT'S STILL.
COLLEAGUES HUNDRED HONOR TO RISE
IN SUPPORT OF THIS [inaudible]
RESOLUTION.
WE SIT IN THE CHAMBERS.
WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN A FRONT OF
US WHO ARE GETTYSBURG SPOKE OF
THIS NEW NATION.
THIS NEW NATION WHICH WAS INDEED
NO BUT ALSO WAS A DIFFERENT
NATION.
WORTH FIGHTING TO PRESERVE.
AND I THINK THIS QUESTION WHAT
IS THIS NEW NATION WHAT AS IT'S
UNFOLDING.
WILL REMAIN A CITY ON THE HILL.
REMAINS A VITAL QUESTION ARE DAY
ATTESTED TO BY MANY PRESIDENTS.
AND I'M HONORED TO RISE AND
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER COOLEY MISTER
EDUARDO GARCIA YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED MISTER SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES I AM COMPELLED TO
RISE AS SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES
ARE SPOKEN ABOUT THEIR PARENTS.
AND THE ARRIVAL TO THIS COUNTRY.
FOR THE REASONS THAT MANY HAVE
ALREADY.
OUTLINED I'M ENCOURAGED.
BY THE WORDS IN.
THAT HAVE MENTIONED UP BY
EVERYONE HERE ON THE FLOOR TO TO
SHARE A STORY WITH YOU.
I WAS INTERVIEWED BY LOCAL
REPORTERS LAST WEEK TO TALK
ABOUT THE CHILDREN.
AND HOW IT IS JUST.
RESPONSIBLE AND QUITE FRANKLY IN
HUMANE HOW.
THESE CHILDREN ARE BEING
SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS.
AND THE CONDITIONS THAT THAT
THEY ARE HAVING TO ADHERE.
TO IN THE QUESTION BEGAN GOING
TOWARDS THE TRAUMATIZING
EXPERIENCE [inaudible]
OF THESE CHILDREN HAVING TO BE
SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS AND
IT BROUGHT TO MIND.
A MEMORY THAT I HAD TUCKED AWAY
REALLY FAR BACK.
IN MY HEAD.
THE ONE WHERE --
AT EIGHT YEARS OLD.
OUR FATHER IS DETAIN DE HE
OVERSTAYED HIS [inaudible]
VISA.
HAD A BIT ALREADY ESTABLISHED A
FAMILY WORKING.
AS A GARDENER.
AND BEING DETAINED IN BEING --
DEPORTED.
AND THROUGH THE PROCESS BEING
ALLOWED TO BE IN THE DETENTION
CENTER.
KNOW CENTRAL CALIFORNIA I WAS
EIGHT YEARS OLD.
AND SO AYE AYES THE INTERVIEW IS
PROGRESSING I BEGINNING TO THINK
ABOUT [inaudible]
THE FEELING.
THOSE NINE MONTHS.
THAT MY FATHER WAS DETAINED THAT
MY MOTHER WAS CARING FOR MYSELF.
AND HERSELF AS SHE CLEAN THEIR
HOUSES AS A AWAY OF SUSTAINING
THE FAMILY FOR THIS PERIOD OF
TIME.
ON HER OWN AND I REMEMBER THE
FEELING [inaudible]
THAT CHRISTMAS.
OF NOT HAVING OUR FATHER THERE
WAS OF THE FACT I REMEMBER.
THAT DUSTY OLD COUCH WHERE I WAS
SITTING AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE WHILE
ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN WERE
PLAYING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME
WAITING FOR IT. TO BE MIDNIGHT
ON THE TWENTY FOURTH OF
CHRISTMAS AND ME SITTING THERE
IN MY MOM'S ARMS CRYING MY
LUNGS.
NOT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THAT
WAS GONNA COME BACK OR NOT NOT.
CARING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
NOT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
OR ANY OTHER GIVE.
COULD FILL THAT VOID THAT
FEELING THAT GAP.
THAT WAS THERE AT THAT MOMENT
NOT KNOWING IF.
DAD WAS GONNA BE.
REUNIFIED WITH US.
THAT'S THE MEMORY THAT WAS
BROUGHT TO ME AS WE SEE.
THESE IMAGES ON TV AS I'M DOING
THIS INTERVIEW WITH THIS
REPORTER.
AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I HAD
TUCKED [inaudible]
BACK.
BACK BACKPACK SOMETHING THAT YOU
DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER SOMETHING
THAT YOU DON'T CARE TO REMEMBER.
AND ALL I COULD REMEMBER IS JUST
CRYING MY LUNGS OFF NOT KNOWING
IF THAT WAS GOING.
TO B. RECONNECTING WITH US.
R. TELL YOU I HAD THIS
CONVERSATION THIS WEEK IN WITH
MY FATHER.
AS ARE PARENTS GET OLDER AND
THEY GET SICK.
BEGAN TO HAVE THESE
CONVERSATIONS IN GREATER
APPRECIATION OF THEIR TIME THAT
THEY'RE HERE WITH US.
AND I ASKED HIM A QUESTION I
SAID IF HE REMEMBERED.
THAT MOMENT BUT QUITE FRANKLY IT
WAS ABOUT ME WANTING TO TALK
ABOUT [inaudible]
I REMEMBER.
RIGHT BECAUSE OF COURSE HE'S
GONNA REMEMBER [inaudible]
BEING.
DETAINED AND NOT KNOWING HIS
FAITH OF COURSE HE WAS GONNA
REMEMBER BUT IT WAS MY WAY OF
WANTING TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT
MADE ME FEEL.
AND LET HIM KNOW HOW SCARY THAT
WAS [inaudible]
HOW FRIGHTENING [inaudible]
THE UNCERTAINTY.
AND QUITE FRANKLY JUST.
LOSING YOUR PARENT TO A
SITUATION THAT IS DEFINED.
BY A FENCE [inaudible]
A WALL.
THAT WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT NOT
NECESSARILY THINKING ABOUT
[inaudible]
THE LIVELIHOOD [inaudible]
SAFETY.
ASPECT OF KEEPING FAMILIES
TOGETHER.
AND THE EMOTIONAL.
IMPORTANCE OF ALL THAT I I
THOUGHT I'D RISE TO SHARE THAT
STORY WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS IS
[inaudible]
FRESH.
PROBABLY GOOD FOR ME TO TALK
ABOUT.
RIGHT MY DOCTOR WOULD PROBABLY
RECOMMEND.
THAT I'D LET THIS OUT
[inaudible]
RIGHT.
BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S A
LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM ALL OF
THE STORIES WE HEARD HERE.
ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR TODAY.
AND I TO SUPPORT AJ ARE FORTY
SIX AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION.
THANK YOU MISTER GARCIA.
MR MACE YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
OUR EYES THE SUPPORT THIS A
RESOLUTION AS WELL.
I USUALLY DON'T GET UP TO SPEAK
ON I RESOLUTIONS I THINK THIS
MIGHT BE MY FIRST SINCE I'VE
BEEN IN THE LEGISLATURE BUT I
HADN'T SEEN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN
STAND IN.
I WENT OUT THE MEMBER FOR RANCHO
CORDOVA SPOKE ABOUT A REAGAN
SPEECH IN HIS FINAL YEAR FINAL
SPEECH HE GAVE OUT OF THE OVAL
OFFICE ABOUT THE CITY ON A HILL.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASSAGES --
FROM A FROM REAGAN YOU KNOW
AMERICA HAS BEEN THIS BEACON OF
HOPE AND FREEDOM PEOPLE OF
COURSE WANT TO COME HERE BECAUSE
WE ARE AN AMAZING COUNTRY.
AND WE ARE AMAZING COUNTRY
BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD THERE'S THAT
LINE THAT SAYS THAT WE ARE GREAT
BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD.
AND WE SPEAK OF OF OF HUMAN
VALUES AND WHAT IS THAT WHAT OUR
HUMAN VALUES WILL.
OFFER SOME OF US IS THAT JUDEO
CHRISTIAN.
OF VALUE
AYE GREW UP ON A IN --
IN A HOME AND WENT TO CHURCH ON
SUNDAY MORNINGS WAS TO SING A
SONG.
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE.
TOO DURAN.
ALL OF THE CHILDREN OF THE
WORLD.
RED AND YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
THEY ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT.
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
OF THE WORLD.
THAT'S WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS
LET'S NOT FORGET THAT A SUPPORT
THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU MISTER MAYES.
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THE RESOLUTION.
MISS GONZALEZ FLETCHER YOU MAY
CLOSE.
THANK YOU AND I WANT TO THANK
ALL MY COLLEAGUES WHO WHO GOT UP
AND TOLD PERSONAL STORIES AND I
ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK --
MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE AISLE.
UP WHO REMINDS US.
BUT THIS ISN'T PARTISAN
NATIONAL.
I'M IT'S VERY PERSONAL ISSUED A
LOT OF US BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE A
PARTISAN ISSUE.
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO FEEL LIKE
DESPITE MY PERSONAL FEELINGS
ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT THAT THIS
IS.
ANTI TRUMP THIS IS ANTI A POLICY
A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY THAT
DOES NOT ALIGN ITSELF.
WITH OUR COUNTRY.
AND IN PRACTICE IS NOT FEASIBLE.
AS A WAY TO ENACT IMMIGRATION
POLICY.
I THINK EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS WHO SIGNED
ON AS CO AUTHORS TO THIS
RESOLUTION I'VE NEVER SEEN A
RESOLUTION ACTUALLY COME TO THE
FLOOR WITHOUT MANY [inaudible]
CO AUTHORS.
AND I DON'T WANNA PUT MY
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES IN A BAD
SPOT NOT GONNA OPEN --
THE ROLE FOR ADDITIONAL CO
AUTHORS.
BUT I HOPE THAT SOME OF YOU CAN.
FOLLOW THE LEAD.
MY COLLEAGUE FROM PALM SPRINGS
--
AN ADD ON TO MAKE THIS A TRULY
BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION.
BECAUSE IN REALITY THE VERY
SIMPLE FACT OF HAVING AN
IMMIGRATION POLICY THAT SAYS
ZERO TOLERANCE.
CUTS OFF A VERY LEGAL PRACTICE
AND THAT'S ONE OF PEOPLE FLEEING
FROM.
WAR TORN COUNTRIES.
COUNTRIES THAT OFTEN WE CREATED
THE SITUATION BY WHICH THEY HAVE
TO LEAVE.
IN ORDER SEEK ASYLUM HERE FOR
THEM IN THEIR CHILDREN.
A PRACTICE THAT HAS.
BEEN ACCEPTED FOR GENERATIONS.
AND A PULL PEOPLE EN IMAGEN PART
OF AMERICA.
WITHOUT SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM
THESE PARENTS WITHOUT
INCARCERATING THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER AND I
THINK WE CAN ONLY DO BETTER IF
WE DO IT TOGETHER.
SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION.
FAMOUS GONZALEZ FLETCHER THIS IS
AN H. A R. REQUIRES A ROLL CALL
