Sarbanes Video Statement on Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.) today released the following video statement to mark Hispanic Heritage Month. See below for a full transcript.

"This year as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we're thinking about the DREAMers –those young people who came to this country not through their own choice, but once they were here, they studied, they worked, they succeeded.

"They represent the best of who we are as Americans. And we're not just thinking about them, we're working as hard as we can to fight for them: to make sure that we pass the DREAM act; to make sure that their status in our country is assured and is secure.

"And we'll keep fighting all through Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond to make sure we do the right thing."
