On July 4, Day of the Independence of the United States, there is celebrated the agreement with which in 1776 thirteen colonies that were fighting against the colonizing kingdom, Great Britain, declared his independence. The nation that was born of this declaration was the United States of America. For all that we are immigrants in this big nation it represents what says the Declaration of Independence: the right to life, to the freedom and to the happiness, the right to have hope. A place where the immigrants we can advance in our wishes and hopes and make the called American dream real.

Precisely one of the most important symbols that represents all this hope for the immigrants is the monument of The Statue of the Freedom in New York; a gift of the French people to commemorate the first 100 years of the Independence of the United States. From his opening in 1886, it was the first thing that the European immigrants saw when they came to American territory after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. A vision that represents a better life, a symbol of freedom that opens the arms for new opportunities, not only for the thousands of European immigrants who crossed the Atlantic Ocean, but for all the million immigrants that we have come from four points of the compass and that we shape the big ethnic mosaic of our country.

This weekend of July 4 also has turned into the celebration of “An Immigrants' Nation”, a representative date in which approximately six thousand persons originated from different countries where they left his hearth, receive his respective naturalization in half a hundred of ceremonies that are realized the length and breadth of the national territory. There is granted them the opportunity for which so much they have fought, that of becoming American citizens.

This July 4, in 233 anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, Washington Hispanic invites them to celebrate the opportunity that we all have of dreaming, to re-live with the same force through the illusion that brought them to this big nation that now receives them, to celebrate the right to live hopefully, to be happy and to reach everything what is proposed. Let's fight to live in this big nation, with peace, freedom and hopes. Let's do it for the presents and the future generations.
