(Laredo, TX ) City of Laredo Mayor Raul G. Salinas will meet with Vice President Joe Biden this afternoon in Washington, D.C. to once again celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month.
“I was humbled by the invitation am grateful to Vice President Biden for his leadership in celebrating the significant contributions Hispanics have made to America,” said Mayor Salinas. “It is rare for a mayor to have the opportunity to speak with the vice-president one-on-one. I will use that time to encourage Vice President Biden to continue to champion comprehensive immigration reform that allows millions to come out of the shadows. I also welcome any and all opportunities to remind senior officials in Washington of the role that Laredo plays in the economic health of the nation. We would be honored to have President Obama or Vice President Biden visit us on the border.”
