| 00:00:00 | I YIELD BACK THE BALANCE OF MY TIME. |
| 00:00:02 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK. |
| 00:00:04 | THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN FROM ILLINOIS, MR. |
| 00:00:06 | GUTIERREZ, FOR FIVE MINUTES. |
| 00:00:18 | MR. GUTIERREZ: THIS WEEK THE U. |
| 00:00:21 | S. SUPREME COURT DECLARED THE IMMIGRATION POLICY OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, A POLICY THAT MITT ROMNEY CALLED A MODEL FOR AMERICA, TO BE LARGELY INCONSTITUTIONAL. |
| 00:00:30 | I APPLAUD THE COURT FOR STATING THAT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS A FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY. |
| 00:00:36 | THE SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS LAW ALLOWS POLICE TO DEMAND INDIVIDUALS PROVE THEY ARE LEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:00:43 | THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDOCUMENTED, IMMIGRANTS, OR ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT HAVE COME TO AMERICA FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. |
| 00:00:51 | IT'S A PROBLEM FOR EVERY AMERICAN WHO CARES ABOUT FREEDOM. |
| 00:00:54 | IT'S A PROBLEM FOR ALL OF US WHO BELIEVES NO PERSON SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SUSPECT BASED ON HOW THEY LOOK, THEIR ACCESS, OR SPELLING OF THEIR NAMES. |
| 00:01:02 | IN ARIZONA TODAY, ALL THAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND A LEGAL NIGHTMARE IS WHETHER A POLICE OFFICER FEELS THERE IS A REASONABLE SPIGS -- SUSPICION TO INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. |
| 00:01:15 | YET ARIZONA POLITICIAN ALSO TELL YOU WITH A STRAIGHT FACE NO LESS THAT THEY CAN APPLY THIS LAW WITHOUT USING RACIAL PROFILING, WITHOUT ASSUMING THAT SOMEONE NAMED GUTIERREZ ISN'T LESS LIKELY TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY THAN SOMEONE NAMED SMITH. |
| 00:01:29 | THAT'S AN AMAZING SKILL. |
| 00:01:30 | MAYBE WITH PRACTICE WE CAN ALL BECOME LIKE ARIZONA POLITICIANS AND POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE ABLE TELL PATICALLY DETERMINE WHO IS ACCUSED OF NOT -- TELLY PATHICALLY DETERMINE WHO IS ACCUSED OF NOT BELONGING IN AMERICA. |
| 00:01:47 | HERE ARE TWO JOURNALISTS, HER REGARDO RIVERA AND TED KOPPEL. |
| 00:01:53 | AT A TRAFFIC STOP, TO THE UN TRAINED EYE, WE MIGHT GUESS THAT RIVERA, FOR SOME ONE, NOT WITH THE WAY HE LOOKS, MIGHT NOT BE FROM AMERICAN. |
| 00:02:05 | HIS MUSTACHES WOULDN'T CONFUSE AN ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL. |
| 00:02:10 | THEY WOULD KNOW THAT HE WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, AND THAT TED KOPPEL WAS BORN IN EUROPE, IN ENGLAND, WHERE HIS PARENTS MOVED TO FLEE FROM HITLER AND NAZI GERMANY. |
| 00:02:22 | ROUND TWO, THIS IS FOR OUR YOUNG C-SPAN, JUSTIN BIEBER AND SELENA GOMEZ. |
| 00:02:30 | THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE OVERCOME THEIR VERY DIFFERENT NATIONAL ORIGINS AND BECOME APPARENTLY A HAPPY COUPLE. |
| 00:02:38 | I'M SURE JUSTIN AND GOMEZ LEARNED ALL ABOUT AMERICAN CUSTOMS AND FEEL MORE AT HOME IN HER ADOPTED COUNTRY. |
| 00:02:45 | OH, WAIT A MINUTE. |
| 00:02:46 | I'M SORRY. |
| 00:02:47 | BECAUSE I'M NOT A TRAPED ARIZONA OFFICIAL. |
| 00:02:50 | I SOMEHOW GOT THAT BACKWARDS. |
| 00:02:52 | ACTUALLY MS. |
| 00:02:53 | GOMEZ OF TEXAS HAS HELPED MR. |
| 00:02:55 | BIEBER OF CANADA LEARN ABOUT HIS ADOPTED COUNTRY. |
| 00:03:01 | JUSTIN, WHEN YOU PERFORM IN PHOENIX, REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR PAPER. |
| 00:03:05 | THE NEXT ROUND SHOWS HOW TRICKY ARIZONA'S GAME OF PICK OUT OF IMMIGRANT IS TO PLAY. |
| 00:03:12 | HERE ARE TWO BASKETBALL SUPERSTARS. |
| 00:03:15 | NEITHER ONE IS LATINO, THAT'S CONFUSING ALREADY. |
| 00:03:19 | YOU HAVE TO DIG DEEPTORY FIGURE OUT WHO ISN'T THE REAL AMERICAN. |
| 00:03:23 | SO LET'S CONSIDER THEIR NAMES. |
| 00:03:25 | JEREMY LIN AND TONY PARKER. |
| 00:03:27 | CLEARLY LIN SOUNDS FOREIGN. |
| 00:03:29 | WHILE TONY PARKER SOUNDS AMERICAN TO ME. |
| 00:03:33 | BUT I'M NOT AN ARIZONA POLICE OFFICER WHO WOULD KNOW THAT JEREMY LIN WAS BORN IN LOS ANGELES AND TONY PARKER, OOPS, YOU'RE UP. |
| 00:03:46 | BELGIUM, ONCE AGAIN. |
| 00:03:47 | FINALLY, HERE'S JUST ONE MORE, IN CASE THE SUPREME COURT EVER WANTS TO MEET IN PHOENIX TO CONSIDER ITS RULING ABOUT ARIZONA'S SHOW-ME-YOUR-PAPERS LAW, IF THESE TWO JUSTICES STEP OUT TO STARBUCK'S, WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK IS LIKELY TO BE A SUSPECT? |
| 00:04:11 | THE ANGELO MALE OR THE LATINA? |
| 00:04:14 | NEITHER IS AN IMMIGRANT, BUT JUSTICE SCALIA'S FATHER CAME THROUGH ELLIS ISLAND FROM ITALY, AND SONIA SOTOMAYOR IS A PROUD PUERTO RICAN WITH GENERATIONS OF U. |
| 00:04:25 | S. CITIZEN ANCESTORS. |
| 00:04:26 | WE COULD PLAY THIS GAME ALL DAY. |
| 00:04:28 | BUT THE POINT IS SIMPLE. |
| 00:04:29 | THE IDEA THAT ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL CAN DETERMINE WHO BELONGS IN AMERICA AND WHO DOESN'T SIMPLY BY LOOKING AT THEM IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, UNFAIR, AND UN-AMERICAN. |
| 00:04:40 | AND YET THIS ABSURDITY IS THE LAW OF ARIZONA. |
| 00:04:44 | THE COURT SIGNALED IT WOULD BE WATCHING THIS LAW CLOSELY, AND IT SHOULD. |
| 00:04:49 | BECAUSE WE COUNT ON THE COURTS TO PROTECT OUR LIBERTIES. |
| 00:04:54 | NOT RESTRICT THEM. |
| 00:04:56 | AND BECAUSE IN AMERICA PEOPLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE JUDGED BY THEIR ACTIONS, NO PERSON, NOT ONE, SHOULD BE JUDGED BY THE WAY THEY LOOK, THE SOUND OF THEIR VOICE, OR THE PRONUNCIATION OF THEIR LAST NAME. |
| 00:05:11 | NOT IN ARIZONA, NOT ANYWHERE, NOT EVER. |
| 00:05:18 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK. |
| 00:05:20 | MEMBERS ARE REMINDED TO ADDRESS THEIR REMARKS TO THE CHAIR. |
| 00:05:24 | THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN FROM ILLINOIS, MR. |
| 00:05:27 | DOLD, FOR FIVE MINUTES. MR. |
| 00:05:28 | DOLD: |
