me the first Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs for this newly
established office.
4:55 I want you to come back to that time. I was a young immigrant woman from Belize. I had
basically floundered in various jobs in America before I started a community-based
in a church basement in Queens. The attacks of September 11
sent shock waves through my community. People who were members of my family, young
people I had worked with, were experiencing at schools, at
workplaces and in airports. And now I was going to their
concerns in government. No job felt more perfect for me.
5:38 And here are two things I learned when I became . First,
well-meaning New Yorkers who were in city government holding government positions had no
idea how scared immigrants were of law enforcement. Most of us don’t really know the
difference, do we, between a sheriff and and the FBI. And most
of us, when we see someone in uniform going through our neighborhoods feel curiosity, if not
concern. So if you’re an parent, every day when you say
goodbye to your child, send them off to school and go to work, you don’t know what the chances
are that you’re going to see them at the end of the day. Because a raid at your
, a chance encounter with local police could change the course of
your life forever.
6:34 The second thing I learned is that when people like me, who
that fear, who had learned a new language, who had navigated
new systems, when people like us were sitting at the table, we advocated for our communities’
needs in a way that no one else could or would. I understood what that feeling of fear was like.
People in my family were experiencing it. Young people I had worked with were being
, not just by classmates, but also by their teachers. My husband,
then boyfriend, thought twice before he put a backpack on or grew a beard because he traveled so
much.
7:17 What I learned in 2001 was that my vote mattered but that my voice and vantage point also
mattered. And it’s these three things — immigrants’ votes, voices and
point — that I think can help make our democracy stronger. We
actually have the power to change the outcome of elections, to
new issues into the policy debate and to change the face of the pale, male, stale leadership that
we have in our country today.
7:52 So how do we do that? Well, let’s talk first about votes. It will come as no surprise to you
that the of voters in America are white. But it might surprise you
to know that one in three voters are black, Latino or Asian. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t just
matter who can vote, it who does vote. So in 2012, half of the
Latino and Asian-American voters did not vote.
8:23 And these votes matter not just in presidential elections. They matter in
and state elections. In 2015, Lan Diep, the eldest son of political
from Vietnam, ran for a seat in the San Jose City Council. He
lost that election by 13 votes. This year, he dusted off those campaign shoes and went back to
for that seat, and this time he won, by 12 votes. Every one of our
votes matters.
9:01 And when people like Lan are sitting at the policy table, they can make a
. We need those voices. We need those voices in part because
American leadership does not look like America’s . There are

over 500,000 local and state offices in America. Fewer than 2 percent of those offices are held by
Asian-Americans or Latinos, the two largest immigrant groups in our country. In the city of
Yakima, Washington, where 49 percent of the population is Latino, there has never been a Latino
on the city council until this year. Three newly elected Latinas joined the Yakima City Council in
2016. One of them is Carmen Méndez. She is a first-generation college student. She grew up
partly in Colima, Mexico, and partly in Yakima, Washington. She’s a single mother, a community
. Her voice on the Yakima City Council is advocating on behalf
of the Latino community and of all Yakima residents. And she’s a role model for her daughter
and other Latinas.
10:15 But the third most resource in American democracy is the
point that immigrants bring. We have fought to be here. We have
come for economic and educational opportunity. We have come for political and religious
freedom. We have come in the pursuit of love. That dedication, that
to America we also bring to public service. People like Athena
Salman, who just last week won the primary for a seat in the Arizona State House. Athena’s
father grew up in the West Bank and moved to Chicago, where he met her mother. Her mother is
part Italian, part Mexican and part German. Together they moved to Arizona and built a life.
Athena, when she gets to the statehouse, is going to fight for things like education funding that
will help give families like hers a leg up so they can achieve the
stability that we all are looking for.
11:21 Immigrants’ votes, voices and vantage points are what we all need to work to include in
American . It’s not just my work. It’s also yours. And it’s not
going to be easy. We never know what putting a new factor into an
will do. And it’s a little scary. You’re scared that I’m going to
take away your place at the table, and I’m scared that I’m never going to get a place at the table.
And we’re all scared that we’re going to lose this country that we know and love. I’m scared
you’re going to take it away from me, and you’re scared I’m going to take it away from you.
12:06 Look, it’s been a rough election year, a reminder that people with my immigration history
could be removed at the whim of a leader. But I have fought to be in this country and I continue
to do so every day. So my optimism never wavers, because I know that there are millions of
immigrants just like me, in front of me, behind me and all around me. It’s our country, too.
