Rep. Doris Matsui (CA-05) released the following statement regarding the Citizenship Fair:"I know the commitment and desire to live out the American dream that motivated each of you here to begin the rewarding and rigorous process of becoming a United States citizen.

My office is always happy to assist individuals who are experiencing difficulties with the immigration system, and we look forward to providing you answers and assistance at the Citizenship Fair."The Citizenship Fair is being hosted by Assemblyman Dave Jones.
