“My father had a rough childhood. His mother died just four days shy of his
ninth birthday. The small catering business his parents had run together
had collapsed, and so as a young child he had to leave school and work. He
would work for virtually the rest of his life. … My father had someone
phonetically write on a small piece of paper the words ‘I am looking for
work.’ He memorized those words. They were literally some of the first
words he learned to speak in English. … My mother recalls how she wept on
that terrible November day in 1963, at the news that her President had been
slain. How on that magical night in 1969, they watched an American walk on
the moon and realized that now, nothing was impossible. Because well before
they became citizens, in their hearts they had already become Americans." | w*l

change America, that we forget that America changes immigrants even more.
This is not just my story. This is our story. The story of how this country,
unique among the nations of world, has made one people out of so many
people from so many different places on earth. … For over two hundred years
now, they have come. In search of liberty and freedom for sure. But often
simply looking for jobs to feed their kids and the chance of a better life.
From Ireland and Poland, from Germany and France. From Mexico and Cuba, they
have come. … This is not just who we were. This is who we still are. For
even now, in our factories and farms. In our kitchens and construction sites
, the latest chapter in the amazing story of America is being written. | w*l

themselves. Here generations of unfulfilled dreams will finally come to pass
. Even with all our challenges, we remain the shining city on the hill. We
are still the hope of the world. And in the end, that is why I support this
reform. Yes, I believe in immigrants, but I believe in America even more.” | w*******t
