And what you will see in their eyes is the same kind of hope for this country we want to see in our own childrens eyes. to be doctors and nurses and teachers. engineers. to find cures for diseases. start businesses. the things that make America grow. Give these kids a chance. Do not take your anger out on illegal immigration on children who have nothing to say about this. They were brought to this country. they have lived a good life. they have proven themselves. they have beaten the odds. We need them. Do not turn around and tell me tomorrow that you need HiB visas to bring in talented people to America because we do not have enough. Do not tell me you need H2B. H2A. and all of the rest of them if you are going to turn away these children. if you are going to say: America doesnt need you. go about your business. find someplace in the world. Do not come back to me and tell me that we need a bigger labor pool and more talent in America. How can we say no to hope?
