National Hispanic Heritage Month, 2019

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the
accomplishments of Hispanic Americans, who have
enriched our culture and society and helped make
America into the incredible country it is today.
Hispanic-American men and women embody the American
values of devotion to faith and family, hard work, and
patriotism through their countless contributions as
leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and members of our
Armed Forces.

Since I took office, Hispanic-American unemployment
rates and poverty rates have hit record lows. My
Administration is always working to create an
environment that fosters opportunity for all Americans.
That is why I signed the pro-growth Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act, which has put more money in the pockets of
American workers and has given businesses more money to
invest in their employees. This historic legislation
also created Opportunity Zones that are driving
investment toward and revitalizing distressed
communities. My Administration has slashed unnecessary
and burdensome regulations to allow entrepreneurs to
use their creativity to contribute to our economic
growth. Our thriving economy is enabling more Hispanic
Americans to achieve the American Dream.

Additionally, we have worked to strengthen our economic
and political relationship with our Latin American
partners. We successfully renegotiated the North
American Free Trade Agreement with the signing of the
United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a trade
deal that will benefit all parties and American
workers. Once approved by the Congress, USMCA will
protect jobs, ensure fair trade, bolster our economies,
and allow our nations to prosper. We have also worked
to support liberty by standing with the community of
democracies in the Western Hemisphere against the
authoritarian regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and
Nicaragua. The United States has strong security and
economic interests in a safe and prosperous Latin
America.

This month, we honor Hispanic Americans for their
countless contributions to our Nation. Through their
dedication to family, community, and our country, they
help to build a better future for all Americans. To
honor the achievements of Hispanic Americans, the
Congress, by Public Law 100-402, as amended, has
authorized and requested the President to issue
annually a proclamation designating September 15
through October 15 as ``National Hispanic Heritage
Month.''

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim September 15 through
October 15, 2019, as National Hispanic Heritage Month.
I call upon public officials, educators, librarians,
and all Americans to observe this month with
appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord
two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
fourth.
