Texas lawmakers praise pope’s message of unity
September 25, 2015
"I will carry Pope Francis' words with me as we move forward to address the problems that lay before us as a country," said Rep. Marc Veasey, a Fort Worth Democrat who invited a DREAMer – a person brought illegally to the U.S. as a child – to the speech.
He ticked off his concerns: "Reforming our broken immigration system, eradicating poverty and ensuring that all have a voice in our nation's democracy."
