Speaker. I thank the ranking member for his leadership. I rise with strong opposition to the recognition that every single one of us was one day an immigrant coming to this Nation. believing in freedom and liberty and seeking an opportunity to serve this Nation as a citizen. Whether it be at war or at peace. immigrants from all over the world came for justice and freedom. Now. today. in this House this Republican leadership and majority want to take away and clothe the Voter Rights Act with the cover of the Ku Klux Klan and deny those new immigrants who become citizens the right to vote. How tragic that we have come to this. Hispanic voters.
