                           COMING TO AMERICA

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, with respect to the remarks made 
this weekend about the squad ``going back to where they came from,'' it 
reminded me of some lyrics by Neil Diamond.

     Far,
     We've been traveling far,
     Without a home,
     But not without a star.
     Free,
     Only want to be free,
     We huddle close,
     Hang on to a dream.
     On the boats and on the planes,
     They're coming to America.
     Never looking back again,
     They're coming to America.

  And it ends with:

     They're coming to America.
     They're coming to America.
     They're coming to America.
     They're coming to America.
      Today, today, today, today, today.
     My country `tis of thee,
     Today,
     Sweet land of liberty,
     Today,
     Of thee I sing,
     Today,
     Of thee I sing,
     Today.

  That is the America that we know, and we are all here contributing to 
what makes America America, and I thank the body for listening.
