Pearce visits naturalization class in Anthony


Wednesday, Congressman Steve Pearce visited the Women’s Intercultural Center in Anthony, where he spoke at a local citizenship class for immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.

“It is inspiring to meet those who come here in search of the unique liberty, opportunity, and blessings that we enjoy as Americans,” Pearce said. “We are blessed to live here in the United States. It is an even greater blessing to share the pursuit of happiness with those who are willing to come here, follow our laws, and participate in the American system.  I know my fellow New Mexicans will join me in welcoming these individuals into our society with open arms as they seek to provide for their families and enjoy a better quality of life in the United States,” Pearce continued. “I look forward to hearing their voices as we strive to improve our communities, our government, and the nation as a whole.”

The stop today was part of a five-day, twenty-city bus tour of southern New Mexico.  Pearce kicked off the bus tour yesterday in Hobbs, and made stops in Carlsbad and Artesia.  Later today, he will spend time with voters and local candidates in Anthony and Las Cruces.
