Ronald Reagan: “We are truly a shining city on a hill.”

That is, again, one of those things I should have said to your question.

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

America is the shining city on the hill. Welcome all who enter to follow their dreams.
