Political Quotes

“So many times we are accused of being callous and heartless toward the people who are coming across our border. But I attended a naturalization ceremony in my district, and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced. I saw 41 true new Americans. They held in their hand the American flag. Tears streamed down their faces. They invested their heart, their soul, their resources, and their minds because they know they have what it takes to do this the right way and make this a more perfect Union. I saw the conviction that that flag right there, to them, is the one universal symbol for liberty and justice for all. There is a right way to do this, and we have to keep America free and secure so people can come and live the American Dream. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding to me tonight.”
