            NEW YORK TIMES OBLIVIOUS TO IMMIGRATION PROBLEM

  (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. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the subject of 
immigration, The New York Times is fast losing its credibility.
  A New York Times editorial says the new Arizona immigration law turns 
all the State's citizens into criminal suspects. Of course, that is an 
unbelievable exaggeration.
  The New York Times says the law requires police officers to question 
anyone who looks like an illegal immigrant. Actually, it doesn't 
require anyone to do anything except obey the law.
  The New York Times says that Arizona should welcome and assimilate 
all newcomers, making no distinction between illegal and legal 
immigrants.
  Maybe from a New York City skyscraper it is hard to see the border 
violence, the human smuggling, the drug trafficking, the lost jobs and 
the crowded schools, much of it caused by those who break our 
immigration laws.
