  Mr. FILNER. Madam Speaker and colleagues, I rise today to commemorate 
the Centennial of the great community of San Ysidro--the gateway to 
America. San Ysidro is not only home to the world's busiest land border 
crossing, but is also a multicultural tight-knit community with a rich 
history and culture like no other. As California's Border Congressman, 
I am very proud to represent San Ysidro and will continue to be a vocal 
advocate for our border community. Please join me in this year-long 
celebration. ``Adelante San Ysidro!''
