Why are we an exceptional Nation with such a dynamic economy? Why have we been so robust as a people? There are a number of reasons. but one I would point out is that because we have brought in Immigrants from all over the globe. because it was difficult to get here. because many of them had to sell themselves for seven years to pay off their passage to the United States. to work off the cost of that ride aboard ship across from Western Europe. for example. the people that had that sense of a dream. the sense of wanting to come here to realize their American dream. to raise their families here. they also had that sense of adventuresomeness. Within all of that. the dream. the industriousness. the creativity. the sense of adventure. that desire to join with us in our manifest destiny as we settled a continent in lightening speed. all of that was the vitality that came in with our immigration. We were able to skim the cream off of the crop in Nation after Nation after Nation. Donor Nations gave up a measure of their most vital population because they came here so they could spread their wings and they could excel.
