Mr. Speaker. I appreciate that. You know. a number of years ago I watched a fascinating documentary. interviewing refugees from Vietnam in refugee camps in Thailand. The network interviewer went up to an old woman of almost 90 years of age and asked: "What keeps you going? What are you hoping to do with your life?" She said: "I dream of living in the United States of America." She did not know America from the newspapers. She did not know America from being able to speak very good English. She just knew America from the standpoint of what America means as an idea. as a dream.
