Mr. Speaker, I am fortunate to represent the Dallas-Fort
Worth metroplex, where a blend of cultures has shaped our community,
from the food that we eat to the traditions that we celebrate. The
north Texas area has benefited from immigrants that now call the
Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex home. In fact, over one-third of the
district I serve was born outside of the United States. It is the rich diversity found in Texas and across the country that
have helped make our country great. Immigrants bring their skills and
cultures and a belief in the American Dream that benefits each and
every one of us. They work alongside us, teach our children, worship in
parishes, and contribute to the innovation that has kept America on the
cutting edge for decades. In honor of Immigrant Heritage Month, I remind my colleagues of our
country's legacy as a nation of immigrants. I urge each of you to keep
these ideas in mind as the month ends and as we promote policies that
directly impact our immigrant communities.
