Mr. Speaker. we are a Nation of immigrants which is truly a unique feature of America. Most importantly. it is one of our greatest strengths. Our families chose to sacrifice. leaving their native lands and people behind. so their children could know of freedom. opportunity. and justice. Today. some belittle that vision of Americasome may call it naivebut let them ask Lithuanian patriot. Simas Kudirka. if the call of freedom still beckons the price paid to obtain that freedom. I rise this afternoon to challenge a travesty of justice the Department of Justice has unwittingly provided cause for those who wish our Nation ill. for those who boast that the United States is no longer the land of equal justice for all.
