                    COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, I stand this morning in solidarity with all 
those who respect fairness and justice in opposition to the Arizona 
Senate Bill 1070. This is an unconstitutional law that is inspired by 
racism and will lead to racial profiling of Hispanics and people of 
color.
  We must do all we can to stop this law. That's why I am calling for 
an economic boycott of Arizona. I also encourage all those to oppose 
this kind of hate and to wear the red, blue, and yellow bracelet to 
express opposition to this bill.
  We must all remember that immigration is not a Latino issue, it's an 
American issue. This misguided law is another reason why America needs 
comprehensive immigration reform to fix our broken system. I call on my 
Republican colleagues to have courage and to work with us on 
immigration reform. The American people need this reform, but we cannot 
do this alone. Again I say to the Republicans, step up to the plate and 
together let us pass real, comprehensive reform.
