          STOP THE SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

  (Mr. ROHRABACHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, as we stand here today, let us remember 
that the slaughter of Christians in the Middle East continues. The 
slaughter by radical Islamic terrorists continues as we do our business 
as usual. We have a President who is even unable to use the words 
``radical Islamic terrorists,'' which could have something to do with 
the fact that we have had policies that have failed to stop this 
historic slaughter of Christians in the Middle East.
  This group has declared jihad on the West and has begun their 
gruesome bloodletting by targeting Christians in the Middle East for 
genocide. Again, this administration has failed to do anything to stop 
the slaughter. Those people who have been permitted into our country 
from that part of the world, overwhelmingly, have been Muslims and not 
Christians.
  It is time for Congress to act. We have not done our job. We have 
failed as well. We need to pass legislation. I have submitted such 
legislation that says that, from now on, in that part of the world 
where Christians have been targeted for genocide, they will be given 
preference for any refugee status or immigration status into the United 
States. At the very least, we can do this to stop this slaughter of 
Christians in the Middle East.
