Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National
Citizenship Day of Action on June 17. I am a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, but I am also the
proud daughter of immigrants from Mexico. I understand how important
citizenship is to families. When I was young, I remember watching my mother study for the exam. I
would help ask her questions and make sure that she knew the history of
this country so that she could pass, and I remember the day that she
went in to take her exam and passed. It was a proud moment for our
family.
