Censuring Anti-Immigrant Sentiment

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor immigrants.

Throughout American history, immigrants of all kinds have made our country great. Sergey Brin invented Google, and Madeleine Albright blazed trails as the first female Secretary of State.

Instead of celebrating this diversity, many Republicans want to shame immigrants. On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, won the New York mayoral primary. Representative Andy Ogles promptly went on an unhinged, anti-immigrant, racist rant throughout yesterday and today, calling this freely elected man and U.S. citizen ``Little Muhammad'' and called for revoking his citizenship and for him to be deported with no just cause.

We must always condemn hate. I have introduced a censure resolution, H. Res. 553, against Andy Ogles for his horrific anti-immigrant sentiment. Immigrants make our country great.
