“The Latino community wants what all Americans want: honest leadership, real security, energy independence, economic prosperity, educational excellence, and a health care system that works for everyone.
“As we have seen in the recent peaceful immigration movements, Hispanics are clearly vested in our country and want to continue to contribute to the strength of our nation. Today, there are 30 Hispanic Members in the United States Congress, including 22 Democrats. Many of them are Mexican-Americans, representing constituencies from all around the country.
“All Americans, whether they have been here for generations or just arrived on our shores, deserve the opportunity to realize the American dream. This Cinco de Mayo, we honor the civic participation of Hispanic Americans and the community’s historical contributions to our nation. We renew our commitment to the Latino community and to extending the circle of opportunity for all Americans.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
