Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) issued the following statement in recognition of Hispanic Heritage month.

“During Hispanic Heritage Month, we reflect on the history of Latinos in this country and honor the extraordinary achievements they’ve made in shaping our rich American culture. As one of our fastest growing ethnic groups, the Latino community deserves to be part of a nation that recognizes the role they play in creating a more vibrant, innovative, and prosperous America. It’s time Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform to ensure that people who contribute to our country can stop living in the shadows.”
