Each of our Nation's children deserves a stable home and a devoted family.

I'm sure that that spirit is going to continue until this city is all the way back.
Our AAPI communities have roots that span the globe, but their stories of striving and success are uniquely American.
I hereby order: All property and interests in property that are in the United States...are blocked and may not be transferred...
We can help, maybe a little bit, with the families dealing with the grief of having a loved one lost.
The order also provides criteria for designations of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Let us remember in our thoughts and prayers those who have been affected by natural disasters at home and abroad in recent months.
We are also investing in the health and well-being of our young people in foster care.
Your generation has grown up more accepting and tolerant of people for who they are, regardless of race or gender or religious belief, regardless of creed or sexual orientation.
Politics, differences of religion or race, all that fades away when we are confronted with the awesome power of nature.
Progress in America can be measured by the opportunities we pass on to our children.
I hereby determine that the making of donations...would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency...
Any transaction by a United States person or within the United States that evades...is prohibited.
I reestablished the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
I call upon all Americans to observe this month by taking an active role in activities across our country that recognize not only these cherished children and youth.
I call on the Syrian government to respect human rights and to forge a credible path to a future of greater freedom, democracy, opportunity, and justice.
Fortunately, the Governor has done an extraordinary job with his team in making sure that the resources of the State are mobilized.
The actions of the Government of Syria constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security.
Although many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have achieved success, far too many still struggle to overcome obstacles of unemployment, poverty, and language barriers.
I encourage all Americans to celebrate and reflect upon the example left to us by President John Adams.
Young people in foster care are in the system through no fault of their own.
I hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338.
My Administration is committed to achieving security for every child and supporting adolescents in foster care as they transition to adulthood.
We can't control when or where a terrible storm may strike. But we can control how we respond to it. And I want every American who has been affected by this disaster to know that the federal government will do everything we can to help you…
