                  CELEBRATING IMMIGRANT HERITAGE MONTH

  (Mr. GOMEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOMEZ. Madam Speaker, during Immigrant Heritage Month, I rise to 
honor my constituent Maria Barahona, a shining example of the 
resilience and contributions of our immigrant community.
  Maria, a home-care provider and TPS recipient from El Salvador, 
embodies the American spirit through her unwavering commitment to 
serving others. TPS gives Maria the ability to work and care for her 
community.
  Her story is not just one of personal triumph but a testament to the 
invaluable impact of immigrants to our Nation. Foreign-born workers 
drove a staggering 50 percent of the U.S. labor market growth last 
year.
  Maria's story is a call to action. We must support and uplift our 
immigrant community and expand TPS.
