I can get a corned beef sandwich at any of the thousands of Jewish delis in the city. I can also have a great conversation about the state of world affairs with a Russian. West Indian. or Israeli cabdriverall immigrants to this land of promise. New York City has a Jewish mayor. the State has an Italian Governor. I personally think thats what makes the city and State so great. the fact that we are so culturally rich. I dont want us to become smug or insular in our attitude toward the infinite variety of cultures and people who want nothing more than to come here to contribute the building of our great Nation. We must remain in control of our borders. but I believe that in order for this Nation to continue to be dynamic and first among the worlds democracies. we must not forget our humble roots. We must not fear the next generation of immigrants. We must. instead. embrace them. If we give in to our fears and pass a bill that is discriminatory or nativist.
