"Each of us brings our own traditions, cultures, and recipes to this quintessential American holiday."

"I want you to know that I am absolutely confident that young people like you, with your passion and drive and commitment, you can make a difference."

"It is the responsibility of all Americans to build a country future generations will be proud of and inspired by."

"It's inconsistent with our values to close the door on these people."
