2world built our country’s economy and created our nation’s unique
3character; and
4WHEREAS, Immigrants continue to develop and expand
5businesses, innovate, strengthen our economy, and create American
6jobs in California; and
7WHEREAS, Immigrants fundamentally enrich the extraordinary
8character of our nation with their unique cultures, heritages, and
9experiences; and
10WHEREAS, Immigrants have been tireless leaders, not only in
11securing their own rights and ensuring access to equal opportunity,
12but also in campaigning for a fairer and more just society for all
13Americans; and
14WHEREAS, Despite countless contributions of immigrants, we
15have frequently overlooked and undervalued the role of immigrants
16in building and enriching our nation, both throughout our history
17and in the present day; now, therefore, be it

19proclaims the month of June 2015 as “Immigrant Heritage Month”;
20and be it further
21Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of
