We are proud to be a nation that puts liberty. humanness. and shelter from oppression at the highest of premiums. We all recognize our countrys commitment to humanitarian concerns. and that responsibility falls on the shoulders of every American. especially every American lawmaker. We have never questioned that we are a nation comprised of immigrants. many of whom fled their nation of origin due to war. persecution. and economic disaster. We have never doubted our continuing obligation to provide a safe haven for future generations who are subjected to similar misfortunes. Some people advocate shutting our doors now that they live happily inside. most of us. however. find this idea to be repugnant to our ideas and in dereliction of our national spirit.
