Who was that city shining to? Who was it beckoning? Who was it welcoming but immigrants? We are still that great city shining upon a hill. We are a nation of immigrants. and they are our strength. and they are our diversity. and they are our source of innovation. and they are what prevent us from being stagnant in the old ways of the old world. But a key change has occurred since the wave came over from Ireland and Poland and the European nations. and then subsequently from the Latin American nations and the Asian nations. and that is the rise of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. And so that immigration policy cannot be unfettered. We have to put in place commonsense. meaningful reforms so that we address it in three parts. We do not disagree about that.
