Ronald Reagan: “The bill would, contrary to fundamental principles underlying our immigration laws, favor particular nations.”

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

Tyranny fails. Freedom works.

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

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.
