I thank the gentleman from California for yielding time to me. Mr. Chairman. I think we are at a very important turning point for America. This is a country whose doors have always been open. and should always be open to people from across the world. We are a nation of immigrants. Our greatness in part comes from our ability to be a melting pot. to draw from everywhere and to allow people to pursue happiness. to allow people to live under the rule of law. to protect their unalienable rights. and to have everyone be equal before the law. This is a truly remarkable civilization.
