House Resolution No. 25—Relative to Immigrant Heritage Month.

WHEREAS, Generations of immigrants from all around the
world built our country’s economy and created our nation’s unique
character; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants continue to develop and expand
businesses, innovate, strengthen our economy, and create American
jobs in California; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants fundamentally enrich the extraordinary
character of our nation with their unique cultures, heritages, and
experiences; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants have been tireless leaders, not only in
securing their own rights and ensuring access to equal opportunity,
but also in campaigning for a fairer and more just society for all
Americans; and

WHEREAS, Despite countless contributions of immigrants, we
have frequently overlooked and undervalued the role of immigrants
in building and enriching our nation, both throughout our history
and in the present day; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the
Assembly proclaims the month of June 2015 as “Immigrant
Heritage Month”; and be it further

Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies
of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
