Cory A. Booker: “It has been 84 days since 1,700 nurses went on strike at Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) University Hospital.”

I am grateful that this man, who learned about the United States of America and our legal system, fell in love with it in Pakistan, made a determination to be a part of it, here in the United States of America.

I am proud that this Jersey boy, straight out of Jersey City, a city known for extraordinary immigrants making extraordinary contributions to our country, will continue in that tradition.

I am really excited right now, and for all of my colleagues, like Senator Graham, who love New Jersey almost as much as they love their own States, this is a very great moment that I have.

I want to thank Senator Blumenthal for having it as well as Senator Hawley.
