Speaker. I am a very fortunate man. I am the son of immigrants. My parents came here at the ages of 17 and 18. respectively. Through the great fortune that we had. they were adjusted. and they were part of this great Nation. but since then. many more have come after. In particular. I represent a community that is almost 69 percent Hispanic. the majority of which were born in a foreign land. The reality is that our immigration system for years has worked and has worked efficiently to make what we do better than any other nation in the world: we make Americans. In the last decade and a half. this system has ground to a halt. In the last few years. our President has moved steadily to use his executive power to try to make the system work a little bit better.
