Ronald Reagan: “Will you join me in a toast to a magnificent American.”

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

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

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

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.
