I am particularly proud of the great strides Elbert Garcia has made not only at Columbia University but also in his service to the residents of the 15th District of New York City. I salute and congratulate Elbert Garcia along with the five other honored Columbia alumni for the fortitude and bravery displayed in 1995 that brought about positive change that continues to benefit Columbia University to this day. I also salute Elbert for his continued work for the public in his chosen field. At a time of sharp difference between us on the question of immigration policy. we all should keep in mind these words of Elbert Garcia. To quote Elbert. "A nation steeped in ethnic studies would not be in such a hurry to punish its immigrants."
