                        ARIZONA'S MISGUIDED LAW

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, America's immigration system is broken. 
Congress' failure to act has opened the doors for laws like Arizona SB 
1070 that are inspired by hate and racism. Sadly, this misguided law 
hurts everyone who looks different, whether they are American citizens, 
lawful immigrants, or undocumented immigrants.
  Everyone deserves the right to live free from unwarranted suspicion, 
but Arizona SB 1070 legalizes racial profiling, taking away our basic 
freedoms.
  Later today, I will introduce legislation in the House to fight this 
law that clarifies the role of the Federal Government as the sole 
enforcer of immigration laws.
  I urge all of you who value fairness and justice to join me in an 
economic boycott of Arizona and wear a red and yellow wristband in 
opposing this hateful law.
