Mrs. RAMIREZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the new 56 citizens of our Nation in the city of Elgin, which I am proud to represent in the Third Congressional District of Illinois. The city of Elgin's New Citizen Recognition Ceremony is a cherished tradition and a celebration that goes back 23 years.

Every single new U.S. citizen has a story. They took a journey that has brought them to that citizenship ceremony. As their Congresswoman, I couldn't be more proud of who they are, of their strength, of what they have overcome, the sacrifices they have made, the changes, and the geographical distances from their families.

I know it hasn't been easy, but they did it. I celebrate them and the journey that has brought them to the United States.

They know that in Elgin, a city in Illinois' Third Congressional District, they will always find a community with open doors and open hearts.

``Congratulations.'' ``Felicitaciones.''
