The story of the United States—from its beginnings as a nation to today—has a common thread: Immigrants and their descendants created and continue to contribute to the development of this great country. Two members of President Barack Obama's Cabinet, Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, are part of the American story and are helping shape its future.

Please join Secretaries Solis and Locke at the Center for American Progress as they tell their "American Stories" and their perspectives of today’s immigration debate.
