  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in recognition of Immigrant 
Heritage Month. The month of June is a time for us to celebrate the 
people that have come to the United States to make a better life for 
themselves and their families. These individuals have come from all 
over the globe and play an integral part in the development of our 
country.
  Since its founding, America has been a nation of immigrants. It is 
important that we acknowledge their contributions to our communities 
and remember that it was the goals and dreams of immigrants that formed 
our great nation. I am honored to represent Central Washington, where 
our culture and economy are deeply enriched by our immigrant neighbors 
and friends.
  Please join me in honoring Immigrant Heritage Month, as I continue to 
work to ensure opportunity and prosperity for immigrants in my district 
and across the country.
