Ronald Reagan: “Hope that our children will always find here the land of liberty in a land that is free.”

America's freedom does not belong to just one nation.

Rather than making them or talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then, while they’re working and earning…

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

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.
