This is a
community where they learned our laws, our values, where they learned
to speak English, where they went to school, where they not just
participated and believed in the American Dream, but became net
contributors to it. It is one of the reasons that El Paso,
Texas, is the safest city in the United States. It is the safest city not in spite of the large number of immigrants
who live in my community--and, by official counts, 24 percent of the
people that I represent were born in another country. It is not in
spite of those people who were born in another country that El Paso is
so safe. It is, in large part, because of their presence.
