Speaker. ChineseAmericans have made much progress in the United States since May 10. 1860. the date the first transcontinental railroad was completed. That massive construction project transformed our country for the better and could not have been completed had it not been for the labor of Chinese immigrants. Despite the enormous progress made challenges still remain for persons of Chinese ancestry. particularly the nations antiquated immigration system which needs to be reformed to make it fairer and more humane. Celebrating the Lunar New Year helps us to remember how much our country has benefitted from the energy. creativity. and service of Chinese Americans. E125 I encourage all Americans to take part in activities marking this important occasion.
