AI Summary
This resolution proclaims June 2025 as Immigrant Heritage Month in recognition of the significant contributions of immigrants to Wisconsin's history, culture, and economy. The resolution highlights that Indigenous peoples originally inhabited the land, and since then, immigrants from around the world have shaped the state's character. It notes that Wisconsin currently has approximately 308,000 immigrants and 130,000 U.S.-born children of immigrants, who have played crucial roles in sectors such as agriculture, technology, art, science, government, education, and tourism. The resolution emphasizes immigrants' economic impact, including generating $13.5 billion in household income, contributing $1.2 billion in state and local taxes, comprising 11.5% of the agricultural workforce, 15% of the IT workforce, and including 18,200 entrepreneurs. The resolution calls for Wisconsinites to celebrate immigrants' contributions, promote unity, kindness, and inclusivity, and reject prejudice against immigrants regardless of their legal status or national origin.
