My uncle is a firefighter in LA. He and his colleagues are heroes—they put their lives on the line every day.

They put others before themselves, and some have sacrificed their life for someone they never met.

To all the first responders in LA: thank you for your courage and dedication.

I finally climbed Pico de Orizaba, the tallest mountain in Mexico — a goal I’ve had for years.

For a long time, I let other things get in the way and kept putting it off. But this week, I did it. And it feels incredible.

Life moves fast. Don’t let your dreams wait too long.

They pay nearly $525 billion annually in federal, state, and local taxes.

They make up 18% of labor force, are more likely to be working age, and actually contribute to the labor participation rate (especially in critical industries like agriculture, & manufacturing)

First post, and here’s the most important thing I can say: immigrants make America great & benefit all Americans 🇺🇸

They contribute $3.3 trillion to the economy and 44.8% of Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants or their children 🤯

The dialogue needs to change.
