WHEREAS, The collective story of the United States is of a nation of refugees and immigrants seeking safety, opportunity, and a better life free from oppression and tyranny; and

WHEREAS, Washington State's deep-rooted and bipartisan tradition of opening its doors to welcome refugees began with Governor Dan Evans when he heard the plight of Vietnamese refugees in need and welcomed 500 into our state; and

WHEREAS, The tradition started by Governor Evans has led to Washington State today assisting almost 3,000 refugees each year from across the globe; and

WHEREAS, Refugees contribute in countless ways to the vibrancy of Washington State's culture and success of our economy; and

WHEREAS, The refugees of today fleeing persecution, political unrest, and oppression are no different and no less deserving of a fresh start than our ancestors; and

WHEREAS, The Muslim children and families of today share our country's strong family values, and want to succeed by working hard and supporting their families; they are mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters all with the hope of a better life; and

WHEREAS, Almost every refugee and immigrant group seeking entry to the United States, from Irish to Italian, German to Jewish, Chinese to Japanese initially experienced discrimination and xenophobia; and

WHEREAS, In spite of overwhelming odds, our forebearers were able to overcome the obstacles of fear and hatred to find common humanity and embrace one another; and

WHEREAS, If Washington State is to continue to be a leader in technology, aerospace, agriculture, and energy, we must ensure our minds and our borders are open to new ideas, new opportunities, and new collaboration with people of many faiths and backgrounds; and

WHEREAS, As elected leaders we must look past the differences of religion and race to see today's refugees as they are: Families with ingenuity and determination in need of our compassion;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate reaffirm our commitment to ensuring Washington State is a safe and secure home for refugees from across the globe—recognizing that doing so upholds the values of the people of the great state of Washington.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Roach: “Well thank you Mr President. So members will notice on their desks, well I don’t see one, they must have been put away already. We have a copy of something called the ‘Reel’ news, and also, oh there they are, and also an invitation. We’re going to be having the first ever Fish-In here at the Washington State Capitol. It will be right outside the guard shack between the Cherberg building and us here. It’s an opportunity, because it’s on President’s Day, to bring children, bring grandchildren. We’ll have 400 fish, 40 of them will be tagged, and if you or one of your loved ones catches one, or someone here on campus, there will be a lovely prize to go with it. We’re talking about the recreational fishing, the 1.1 million people who buy a fishing license every year, a wonderful aspect of the northwest living that is augmented by the fact that we have such a wonderful outdoor life. So I hope you’ll take part, there is also a cutthroat, is that the name of a trout? There is also a cutthroat competition between caucuses. It’s not like the other event that we’ll hold the following week, this one is by weight. So I invite each member to go out during the lunch and we will weigh the basket of fish caught by the Senate Democratic Caucus and the basket of fish caught by the Senate Republican Caucus and they’ll do the same in the House to come out with an overall weight winner. So I hope over there and over here you will accept the challenge and I understand there’s some really big trout in there so I just wanted to make that invitation to you. Thank you so much. This is on behalf of the Sportsman’s Caucus, Senator Hargrove is still the captain over there on that side. Thanks.”
