House Resolution No. 397.
A resolution to declare June 2014 as Immigration Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The legislature recognizes the contributions of generations of immigrants from every corner of the globe in building our economy and creating our nation’s unique character; and

Whereas, Immigrants have provided the United States with unique social and cultural influence, fundamentally enriching the extraordinary character of our nation; and
Whereas, Immigrants have been tireless leaders not only in securing their own rights and access to equal opportunity, but have also worked to create a fairer and more just society for all Americans; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2014 as Immigration Heritage Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize the role of immigrants in building and enriching our nation has frequently been overlooked and undervalued throughout our history and continuing to the present day.
