Mr. President. I thank Senator MARTINEZ for that wonderful reading and for all that his person speaks to. He said he was an immigrant to this country. born in Cuba. The truth is. we are all immigrants. the founding generation. We are all immigrants. The original Americans were Native Americans. I think some of us whose families have been here a while may forget all of that. The country in its founding documents posited these magnificent ideas based on faith. the endowment of our Creator. but then this openness and equality. The Senator from Florida. in his lifetime. his fresh memory. reminds us all how we have to be grateful for each succeeding generation as an obligation to accept the responsibility and. if you will. the destiny that is included in these documentsthe Declaration and the Constitutionbut we are also beneficiaries of those.
