We remember the Chinese laborers who faced grueling conditions while constructing the Transcontinental Railroad. as well as the cruel irony of patriotic Japanese American troops who fought in World War II while their families back home were kept in U.S. internment camps. For generations. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have worked to better this country despite often facing discrimination and hardship. As educators. activists. artists. small business owners. servicemen and -women. and elected officials. Asian American and Pacific Islanders have added so much to this Nation. They are a reminder that diversity continues to be Americas greatest strength. It is why I will continue to fight to fix our broken immigration system. to expand opportunities for people of all backgrounds. and to combat discrimination wherever it occurs.
