Mr. Speaker, today I want to wish Jacinto City and community in my district a happy 75th anniversary. Jacinto City is a beloved community in our district full of hardworking Americans who contribute to our economy and work every day to build a country we love. In the 1940s the city became the meeting point for immigrant families who worked in shipyards, nearby steel mills, and war plants. These workers were here seeking the American Dream, a dream that became a reality thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its immigrant community. This is inspiring, and it reminds us now more than ever that our workers play a vital role in empowering and transforming our country. Today, Jacinto City is a beacon of hope for the State's great economy and for our Nation. Its diverse community is led by a Latina mayor, Ana Diaz. It is an example of our country's social fabric and how our immigrants make us a stronger and more vibrant country. I couldn't be prouder to represent this great community, and I am thankful to the families for their hard work and their contributions to our country. Happy anniversary, Jacinto City. Feliz aniversario. ____________________
