                              IMMIGRATION

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Madam Speaker, America's broken immigration system 
continues to wreak havoc in communities across the country.
  Real families with real children live in fear that someone they love 
may be torn away from them. No child deserves to grow up without the 
love of their parents. We must bring an end to the separation of 
families. We must all remember that immigrants are not our enemies. 
They are our neighbors, our classmates, our fellow churchgoers. They 
are part of the American fabric.
  Over the coming month, I look forward to working with CHC and 
advocates across the Nation to speak on the human impact of our broken 
immigration system.
  Immigration is not just a Latino issue. It is an American issue that 
impacts all of us. Let's work together to stop this hateful rhetoric 
and pass real immigration reform.
