Madam President. it is a pleasure to be on the floor talking about this subject with the Senator from New Mexico. We did that last year. as I recall. as well. and the Senator has a rich immigrant history in his family that all of us in different ways share. I guess I should say. as the only person who has the privilege of serving in this body who is an immigrant and as truly someone who has come here having been born elsewhere. it is an incredible privilege for me to talk on this subject and have an opportunity to be a part of this debate. I really think it is a moment that brings us all to the roots of what our Nation is about. We understand that this is a nation of immigrants. a nation that through its history has had this tradition of welcoming people from all over the world. from all different lands. and manages in this magical way to bring people into the fullness of what it means to be an American. I have experienced it in my own life. I can speak about that for days.
