                    COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

  (Mr. PERLMUTTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, just give us a vote. Just give us a vote 
on comprehensive immigration reform.
  The United States Senate passed a bill almost a year ago, in a 
bipartisan fashion, on comprehensive immigration reform. Americans want 
comprehensive immigration reform.
  We have a bill, H.R. 15, which provides for comprehensive immigration 
reform. It would pass this House, but for some reason or another, the 
Republican majority will not bring it up. It will not allow the House 
to vote on it.
  The Senate had the courage to vote on it. The House ought to bring 
this up and pass comprehensive immigration reform. It can be done this 
week or next week. Let's get it done. Just give us a vote.
