I would like to call 140,000 young people in my state as dreamers, dream of the greatness of america. The status that they are under is something called daca, which was instituted by president obama because this Republican Congress could not provide legislative relief. And so he saw the lives that were being impacted. In a few months however, the claims not knowing what happened, was the individual who removed that daca status. It is a dire situation. And the reason is because there are individuals whose status is now expiring or has already expired. And therefore, they are living in limbo. Hese are doctors, lawyers, teachers.

The average family of four in innesota will see a tax cut of 3,154 dollars and they claim that it would never benefit americans but employers have given 1 billion in bonuses and wage increases to their employees. And finally they said the tax cuts and jobs act would never jump start economic growth. After two quarters of 3 growth approaching 4 , it is like the opponents are left telling the American People are you going to believe me or your own eyes. Our opponents rely on high per bowley.
