As we use this month to learn more about how Latino culture has so deeply enriched every aspect of American life, let us remember that our struggle continues.
Contact: Staci Cox (202) 225- 4572 Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released this statement commemorating National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is recognized from September 15 through October 15: “I am proud, once again, to celebrate the varied way Latinos contribute to our history, our diversity and our overall way of life. “As we use this month to learn more about how Latino culture has so deeply enriched every aspect of American life, let us remember that our struggle continues. While many Latino-Americans have positively contributed to the social fabric of our nation for decades, or even for centuries, others are new or aspiring citizens. “In Congress, we will soon debate and decide the fate of an array of pressing issues. Immigration reform cannot slip from the table. I was pleased that this year we have made significant progress towards realizing the dream of comprehensive immigration reform, but our work cannot stop here. We must continue to use the bipartisan support gained this summer to build momentum to shape an immigration policy that is fair and humane to all aspiring Americans, especially immigrant children. “As our journey towards comprehensive immigration reform endures, let us recommit ourselves to embracing and valuing our diversity.” ### For “Moore” News Updates Follow Gwen Moore on Twitter @RepGwenMoore and Like Gwen Moore on Facebook |
