                        THE BRING JOBS HOME ACT

  (Mr. RUIZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge Speaker Boehner to allow 
a vote on the Bring Jobs Home Act. I cosponsored this bill to help 
businesses create jobs in my home district and across America. In the 
Coachella Valley, there are unacceptable high unemployment rates, in 
some areas over 17 percent.
  The Bring Jobs Home Act will create critical tax incentives for 
businesses to bring jobs back to the United States and close tax 
loopholes for corporations who ship jobs overseas.

  Over the last decade, America lost 6 million manufacturing jobs. That 
is millions of jobs families can gain if Congress does their job and 
votes to bring jobs home. Congress must put hardworking families above 
corporations that ship jobs overseas.
  This week, the Senate will vote on legislation. The House must act. 
Mr. Speaker, Congress must put people before politics, solutions above 
ideology, and allow a vote on the Bring Jobs Home Act.
  Let's put people back to work.
