The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and Vice President Joe Biden welcomed Hispanic members of the new Congress at a swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 3.

Biden performed the swearing in of the members -- including Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, chairman of the CHCI -- in the East Hall at Union Station in Washington, D.C. Speakers included Biden, Hinojosa, Sen. Robert Menendez and Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis.

"It's no longer about what can be done for the Hispanic community," said Biden. "The question is what the Hispanic community is going to do to take this country to a totally new place."
