It is Immigrant Heritage Month, based on an article. It means that it is the month again for the people of the United States of America to celebrate the diversity brought in the country through immigration from different parts of the world. 

Celebrating The Immigrants Of The United States

Based on an article, Immigrant Heritage Month is observed across the country to celebrate everything about immigrants from their culture, their contributions to the country, and everything about them through different media such as films, street festivals, and community conversations. However, it will be a challenge to hold in-person activities and events across the country as the coronavirus pandemic had introduced a new normal to everyone requiring various COVID-19 preventive measures such as social distancing and frequent cleaning and sanitation. 

One way of getting in the spirit of Immigrant Heritage Month by making adjustments on how it can be celebrated amid the constraints brought by the coronavirus pandemic. Based on an article, United We Dream, a youth-led group for Immigrants, had devised a way to help celebrate the awesomeness of immigrants across the United States. Additionally, the article states that United We Dream had collected recipes and putting them in a cookbook called 'Undocumented Cookbook.' The group had made the recipes available to everyone to recreate meals while still under quarantine. It means that those who cannot go outdoors can still celebrate Immigrant Heritage Month with their family with the recipes they can recreate from the collection. People can be protected from the coronavirus by choosing to cook at home the recipes from the cookbook.

Furthermore, the United States had witnessed an incline in the total number of Venezuelan immigrants from 2010 to 2018 by 120 percent.
