One of our major problems is, we do not have enough immigrants. We are going to have to do something about our immigration policy.
This means that people of every race, religion, ethnicity can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed.
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.
