Mr. Speaker. America is a nation of immigrants. As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said. "All of our people all over the countryexcept the pureblooded Indiansare immigrants or descendants of immigrants. including those who came over here on the Mayflower." Indeed. we are a diverse lot. We are a country of many peoples. each with an individual cultural heritage and tradition. It is not often that people of so many varying cultures and backgrounds can live together in harmony. for human nature often leads us to resist and fear those who are different from us. Yet despite our differences. we do have a common bond.
