Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I have spoken here before about the surge
in demand for citizenship we are seeing in the Fourth Congressional
District of Illinois. Thousands who are eligible are taking the step to
become citizens because they feel threatened by a President and
administration that does not seem to think of immigrants, refugees,
Muslims, or Latinos as human beings. So the one way to protect oneself
and to protect one's family is to apply for citizenship if you are
eligible. Some days they are lined up out the door of my office. So full are
our daily appointments, we had to add a Saturday citizenship workshop
to accommodate all of the people who wanted to apply, and we will be
adding additional workshops.
