George H.W. Bush: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

We're a blessed nation because we can grow our own food. A nation that can feed its people is a nation more secure.

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.

I want to thank Senator Cardin for his tremendous leadership, for years, on human rights issues.

A nation that can feed itself is a nation more secure.
