Becoming an American is also a unique experience because it has nothing to do with ancestry. America is an idea. not a race. We are united by principles expressed in our founding documents. the very principles we are debating in this immigration legislation. not by our multiple ancestries. Americans enjoy more rights than the citizens of any nation on the face of the Earth and our Founders recognized. as every citizen and prospective citizen must. that along with those rights come responsibilities. The new citizens. like those who came before. must appreciate this simple but fundamental truth: In a free society. freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.
