               IMMIGRATION TIDE HAS TURNED AGAINST OBAMA

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Madam Speaker, the immigration tide has turned 
against the administration. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 60 
percent of voters disapprove of the way President Obama is handling 
illegal immigration. Fifty percent of Democrats and 87 percent of 
Republicans now agree that immigration reform should, quote, ``move in 
the direction of stricter enforcement of laws against illegal 
immigration.''
  While the Obama administration sues to stop Arizona's immigration 
enforcement law, a CBS poll shows that 73 percent of Americans now say 
the law is just right or doesn't go far enough.
  Across the country, candidates are running on pro-enforcement, no 
amnesty platforms. While the Obama administration is moving in one 
direction, the American people are moving in the other.
