Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank my friend and former colleague, Xavier Becerra, for his long and effective record of service on behalf of California in Congress. Attorney General Xavier Becerra has been a true mentor and a friend to me, especially during this transition serving as a new Member of Congress. His support and his service reaffirm that the children of immigrants and immigrants themselves have a crucial role to play in our Federal Government. I want to congratulate Xavier Becerra on his well-deserved appointment to serve as California's attorney general. While he is no longer with us in the House, I know that his new appointment will be even greater felt across our country during these troubling political times. I have no doubt that, as attorney general, Xavier will defend our Constitution and fight for families in California and help our State serve as a beacon of hope and progress in America. ____________________
