We owe all we have to our forebears who built our land and our government and gave it to us as a sacred bequest.
I believe that it won't be too long before the Republicans win control of the Congress.
But anyone, from any corner of the world, can come to live in the United States and become an American.
This is truly a wonderful occasion, the culmination of years of hard work and remarkable generosity.
