[Congressional Record Volume 160, Number 81 (Wednesday, May 28, 2014)] [House] [Page H4843] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] LEGISLATION TO HELP REALIZE THE AMERICAN DREAM (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) (English translation of the statement made in Spanish is as follows:) Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, today I take to the floor to ask Congress to act and pass legislation that will help millions of working families. We need to pass legislation that will raise the minimum wage and reinstates unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed. We need to pass legislation that will protect future property owners from abusive lenders. We need to pass legislation that will improve our education system to help our children go to college and ensure them a successful future. We need to pass legislation that will fix our broken immigration system, and will include a path towards citizenship. It is our duty to help our communities. I ask the Republicans to support these policies so that millions of people can have the opportunity to realize the American Dream. Senor Presidente de la Camara de Representantes, Hoy, tomo la palabra para pedir que el Congreso actue y pase la legislacion que ayudara a millones de familias trabajadoras. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que aumente el salario minimo y reinstale el seguro de desempleo para quienes han estado desempleados por largo tiempo. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que proteja a futuros propietarios de prestamistas abusivos. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que mejore nuestro sistema educativo-- que ayude a nuestros hijos a ir a la universidad y asegurarles un futuro exitoso. Tenemos que pasar legislacion que arregle nuestro sistema inmigratorio quebrado, y que incluya un camino a la ciudadania. Es nuestro deber ayudar a nuestras comunidades. Pido que los Republicanos apoyen estas polizas para que millones de personas tengan la oportunidad de realizar el sueno americano. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California will provide a translation for the Record. ____________________
