The Last Days of Immigrant Heritage Month

The last days of immigrant heritage month are upon us. On June 1, 2021 President Biden declared June immigrant heritage month, stating “it is vital that our Nation reflect on the leadership, resilience, and courage shown by generations of immigrant communities, and recommit ourselves to our values as a welcoming Nation.” California’s Governor Gavin Newsom did the same, proclaiming: “California will always support and stand with immigrant families and newly arrived immigrants who are just beginning their next chapter in America.” Cities around the country, like Minneapolis, have hosted events throughout the month to celebrate the many contributions of immigrants.
