                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 25, 2018

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Stanislaus 
County Board of Supervisors for issuing a proclamation acknowledging 
and celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month (lHM).
  Stanislaus County is a land of immigrants, old and new. For 
generations, America has been reinvigorated by the contributions of new 
arrivals from foreign lands, and like so many of my fellow residents, I 
am especially proud of my district's deeply rooted immigrant history. 
Our country was built on the belief that all men are created equal, and 
immigrants from around the globe have proven to be vital contributors 
to the cultural and economic prosperity of Stanislaus County.
  The Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors recently acknowledged 
Immigrant Heritage Month, issuing a proclamation in accordance with a 
nationwide effort to celebrate and share inspirational stories of the 
vast contributions made by immigrants. Dedicated to remaining a 
welcoming community, we must hold IHM as a reminder to continue to 
pursue laws and policies that provide common sense pathways to 
successful integration for all newcomers.
  I applaud the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors for recognizing 
the Month of June as a time to celebrate immigration. Immigrant 
Heritage Month will encourage us to remember that we should always 
strive to offer opportunities for all to take advantage of the American 
experience.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Stanislaus County 
Board of Supervisors for issuing a proclamation acknowledging and 
celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month.
