This veto is a slap in the face to millions of Americans who are struggling to get a fair chance to compete in our society. That is what makes this veto all the more devastating. The issue goes beyond the mere technical terms of this legislation. The American people understand that we are talking about something bigger than buzzwords like "quotas" or "disparate impact" or even "civil rights." This bill is about the very fiber of our Nation. We are a nation of immigrants. Tens of millions of people have flocked to our shores looking to make a better life for themselves and their families. America has been a beacon of freedom. a haven of opportunity.
