I am happy that America continues to be. for many. a land of dreams: dreams which lead to action. to participation. to commitment. dreams which awaken what is deepest and truest in the life of the people. In recent centuries. millions of people came to this land to pursue their dream of building a future in freedom. We. the people of this continent. are not fearful of foreigners because most of us were once foreigners. I say this to you as the son of immigrants. knowing that so many of you are also descendants of immigrants. Tragically. the rights of those who were here long before us were not always respected. For those peoples and their nations. from the heart of American democracy.
