Over one quarter of the jobs across Washington State are directly tied to international trade. In fact. trade is growing and we are succeeding because of the relationships we have built with the help of the Asian American community. It is my hope that recognizing May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month reminds us of the role immigrants have played in shaping the history of our Nation. Ahead. we must examine the issue of immigration. and I believe we can and should be guided by reflecting on the contributions that immigrants have made and continue to make. As we look ahead. let us honor and remember our past. and remember that we are all immigrants and when we pause to honor Asian Pacific Americans. we honor all Americans.
