George H.W. Bush: “This is something that is in the national interest, and it is essential that we do it.”

One of our major problems is, we do not have enough immigrants. We are going to have to do something about our immigration policy.

Bigotry seems emboldened.

I have always contended that. And I believe that you do not have a growing dynamic economy without the creative abilities and devotion and loyalty that immigrants bring to their country.

We've seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty.
