                     ACT ON IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW

  (Mr. GARCIA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARCIA. Mr. Speaker, we all agree that it is up to Congress to 
overhaul the broken immigration system. However, despite all the talk 
and promises, there is one thing that is clear: this Republican 
Congress has done nothing to address immigration reform and has only 
been an obstacle to this process.
  Now is the time for the President to act. His legal standing is 
solid. It is time for us to act. Now is the time to do what is right, 
what is fair, what is just, not only for the immigrant community, but 
for this great country.
