Declaración del Congresista Luis V. Gutiérrez acerca de carta del Secretario del Ejército John McHugh desmintiendo al Gobernador Fortuño:
Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez participated in DREAM Relief Day, a daylong workshop, information session, college fair, and celebration marking the first day that DREAM Act eligible young people can sign up for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
I am proud to serve as the Chairman of the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and I have previously also served on the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration and as the Chair of the Immigration Task Force of the Democratic Caucus.
I have worked to restore economic stability, help homeowners facing foreclosure, protect consumers, protect taxpayers, and strengthen regulations for the financial institutions whose risky behavior contributed to the economic collapse in 2008.
I have made it a priority to ensure that the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans are upheld as we work to protect our nation from threats.
