                    COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of comprehensive 
immigration reform.
  In the Bible, it couldn't be more clear:

       When the Son of Man returns in all his glory, escorted by 
     the angels, then He will take His seat on the throne of 
     glory. All the nations will be assembled before Him, and He 
     will separate the people one from another, like sheep from 
     goats. On the right hand, He will place the sheep; on the 
     left, the goats. And to those on His right, he will say: Come 
     accept the inheritance that is yours, that has been prepared 
     for you since the foundation of the world, for when I was 
     hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me 
     drink; when I was a stranger, you made me welcome.

  My fellow Members of this House, comprehensive immigration reform is 
not just the right thing to do; it is the righteous thing to do.
