WASHINGTON D.C. – As National Hispanic Heritage Month begins, the President issued a message today, September 17, 2026, celebrating the significant achievements and ongoing contributions of Hispanic Americans to the nation. The message, released by the White House, highlights the community's role in shaping American culture, strengthening institutions, and advancing the American Dream.

The presidential statement emphasized the diverse ways Hispanic Americans have served the country, including in the U.S. Armed Forces, law enforcement, healthcare, religious leadership, and government. It noted their dedication to hard work, family, and faith as core values that enrich communities across the nation.

The administration reaffirmed its commitment to these enduring values and its mission to foster a stronger nation where all citizens have the opportunity to thrive. The message specifically mentioned The Working Families Tax Cuts Act, detailing provisions such as no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security, an increased child tax credit, and the creation of "Trump Accounts" for American children.
