They have every right to complain. They have every right to complain. Why in the world would we ever suggest that somehow the American people are not generous and fair and decent when it comes to immigration? They really are. We are a nation that believes in immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. We believe in immigration. But people are frustrated. Some people say things that are harsh maybe about immigrants. but when you listen to most people. the anger that they are expressing is not at the immigrants. it is at those of us in Washington. It is at a string of Presidents. it is at a series of Congresses that have failed. refused to do what they asked them to do. And what have the American people asked? They have asked that we create a lawful system of immigration and we create a policy of immigration that is in the national interest of the United States of America. that we allow a number of people to come in every year. that we make a rational judgment about how many that should be. People should not come in illegally. They should come in in accordance with law.
