Gutierrez became the first combat casualty of the war of Iraq. His belief in the American dream of a better life is a testament of what many others who come to this country wish to have. Gutierrez will forever be a symbol of patriotism. hard work. and commitment. Sadly. his sacrifices are lost in the hateful antiimmigrant rhetoric. Every day. 12 to 14 million immigrants work from sunset to sundown to reach the American dreamall positively contributing to Americas economic health. I urge my colleagues to keep in mind these contributions and make a firm commitment to work towards comprehensive immigration reform.
