“There’s no one face of our country,” US District Court Judge Mark Mastroianni told new Americans this week. “The face of America is all of us. America is every country you’re from every place you have been from, mixing and coming here, and it’s such a happy day.” https://americasvoice.org/blog/the-face-of-america-is-all-of-us-celebrating-new-americans-on-constitution-day-and-citizenship-day-2025/ #CitizenshipDay #ConstitutionDay

Today is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day in the US. It's a heartbreaking occasion this year, as all around us we witness the Constitution being torn to shreds, while people who have spent years of their lives putting down roots here are being cast out.
I had always wanted to attend a citizenship ceremony, but never had that opportunity until 2018, when I was fortunate enough to be present at such an occasion. It was moving and meaningful to see such a formal validation of welcome to the diversity of new citizens.
My grandparents were the children of immigrant parents. I grew up hearing Grandma's stories of their history, and found it easy to see that history repeated again and again in more recent arrivals. Every newcomer brings their own story, their own hopes. Each one offers their own gifts, their own contributions.
The present toxic attitude of animosity against immigrants horrifies and offends me. Those of us whose roots have long been here owe a debt to those whose roots long predate ours, especially those who lived on this land before any newcomers, and those who were brought here involuntarily. We owe another debt, just as important, to those who come after us, looking to put down new roots of their own, just as our grandparents once did.
This photo from the 2018 citizenship ceremony still lifts my spirits when I look at it.

"The newcomers were encouraged by many of the ceremony's speakers to bring their traditions and celebrate their uniqueness as they embark on their journey now as Americans."
“One man remarked from the podium, ‘This is our country's motto: E Pluribus Unum — out of many, one.’” https://www.fox13now.com/news/positively-utah/new-citizens-urged-to-bring-their-traditions-at-salt-lake-county-naturalization-ceremony #ConstitutionDay #CitizenshipDay

“On Friday, September 12, 2025, the breathtaking backdrop of Grand Canyon National Park’s Mather Amphitheater set the stage for a deeply meaningful celebration: the naturalization of 29 new American citizens representing 13 different countries.” https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/grand-canyon-2025-naturalization-ceremony.htm #ConstitutionDay #CitizenshipDay

A number of naturalization ceremonies welcoming our newest Americans have already been underway ahead of today’s #ConstitutionDay and #CitizenshipDay. It’s a day we should be proud of. No other nation has the distinction of being known as “a nation of immigrants.” And, we’re stronger for it 🇺🇸

We should be proud to be a “nation of immigrants.” We’re stronger for it. These are our neighbors, and many of them are essential workers who feed us, make our roads safer, teach our children, care for our loved ones, help power our economy, and make our country more vibrant 👇🏽https://americasvoice.org/blog/constitution-day-and-citizenship-day-a-powerful-recognition-that-america-is-stronger-and-more-vibrant-because-of-immigrants/ #CitizenshipDay
