                    LORETTA SANCHEZ IS HERE TO STAY

  (Mr. SERRANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SERRANO. Madam Speaker, let me see if I get this straight. The 
gentlewoman from California [Ms. Sanchez] wins an election in 
California, she is certified by a Republican Secretary of State, she 
comes to the House and takes her seat, and she begins to do her 
district's work. Then all of a sudden Republicans launch an 
unprecedented attack not only on the Hispanic voters in her district, 
but on Hispanic voters throughout the Nation.
  This is the same party that is telling us that they want to bring

hired the same consultant to do this advice that told them to close 
down the Government a couple years ago.
  I suggest they are getting ripped off. Let the gentlewoman from

[Ms. Sanchez] go. Stop harassing Hispanic voters. She is here, and she 
is going to stay.
