King argues for an America void of people of color or who worship differently than he does. That is not who we are. Behind me are a few small examples of somebody else's babies: people who immigrated to America or whose families immigrated to America, practicing many different faiths, coming from many different countries. They include the daughter of Chinese immigrants who became one of America's most celebrated and best-selling authors, Amy Tan; the son of a Syrian migrant, Steve Jobs, who founded Apple; and the son of a Kenyan student, who recently finished two terms as the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. These are not somebody else's babies. These are immigrants and the children of immigrants, and they are our babies. I was born and baptized in Sac City, Iowa, located in Mr. King's district.
