                    COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Yesterday I urged all Americans to boycott the State of 
Arizona until this law is appealed. This law is unjust. It will only 
lead to the increase of racial profiling and hate crimes in the State, 
especially towards Hispanics.
  This is a violation of the fourth and 14th amendment in the United 
States Constitution. It does not require local police officers to have 
a warrant. This new law will create a divide between people who are 
asked for legal documents and those who are not. This law will create 
distrust between police and the communities they protect. This law is 
backwards, and sets us back in time.
  I urge Americans show their support of the boycott and wear a red, 
yellow, and blue wristband. This is an unjust law and must be 
overturned, and an example of why we need comprehensive immigration 
reform.
