Chairman Hinojosa Statement on Citizenship Day

Washington, D.C. – Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairman Rubén Hinojosa (TX-15) released the following statement today on Citizenship Day:

Chairman Rubén Hinojosa (TX-15): "Across America today, those who come to this country to contribute to our economy, to help make this country great, are becoming citizens. They take the oath of citizenship seriously; they pledge to uphold our most cherished rights and responsibilities as American citizens.

On this day, we must also remember those aspiring residents who have no way of earning citizenship. There can be no more excuses, we must pass immigration reform, and we must hear from House Republican leadership that they are willing to vote on a bill which will provide relief to so many undocumented immigrants who are citizens in every sense but literally."
